Also, they coexisted with and used early gunpowder firearms so guns did NOT make knights extinct.
Indeed, they didn't: it was the rise of professional standing armies that did away with knights as we know them.
(Had it not been for that, and had knights continued to exist, I'm sure they would've used any new technology that came along... now I'm imagining knights running around in tanks in the present day
