What was a destrier, and what does it show about knighthood?
A pack horse used to carry a knight's baggage, showing how little he really needed
A trained warhorse, one of several costly items that made knighthood expensive✓Correct answer
A plough horse lent to a knight by the villagers of the manor
A light riding horse used only for travelling to tournaments
Explanation
A warhorse was bred and trained for the charge and cost far more than an ordinary mount, and together with armour, weapons and a following of attendants it put knighthood beyond the reach of most people. The pack horse fails because a knight's baggage animal was an ordinary beast of burden, not the trained animal he fought from.
