Abstract

The article "KNIGHTS WITH GUNS" by Myke Cole explores the transition from medieval knights to cuirassiers equipped with firearms during the 17th century. The introduction of guns led to the evolution of heavy cavalry into cuirassiers, who adapted their armor to withstand bullets. The cuirassier's armor remained effective against mid-17th century firearms, as demonstrated in battles such as the one-on-one duel between Sir Arthur Hesilrige and Captain Richard Atkyns. The article highlights the complex interplay of technological, social, and economic factors that influenced the evolution of warfare during this period. [Extracted from the article]
