-{History lesson}-
The medieval knights of the 11th and 12th mostly were mostly nobility raised from birth to fight for their loyalty by an oath known as The Oath Of Fealty, which basically says they are loyal to whom they are pledging to.  The knights lived by and were bound to the code of Chivalry, which basically says, Protect the Innocent, and defend the Weak.  Unlike the big suits of armor you stereotype Medieval Knights to have, those suits of armor didnt start showing up until the 13th and 14th century, and Chainmail was the most used. On the torso of the skin there is the surcoat or tunic which has the Knight's crest, there the Knight would have an image of an object, animal, etc.

Special thanks goes to... Monty Python and The Holy Grail, as this was my inspiration to make skins resembling them (the default skin is based on King Arthur's Tunic, and the blue Skin is based on Sir Bedevere's Tunic.)  You may distribute this skin freely, if you edit it and re-distribute it, make sure you give me credit for the original skin, idea, etc.
