Second Age. Possibly the same time as the Return to Righteousness Holy War or perhaps a little later.
But again, these were not high medieval knights. They were elite Hrestoli Men of All who had embraced the Abiding Book and its Jrusteli wizards. I have read a description of them as wearing a heavy bronze cuirass, leather and bronze arm defences, and a bronze helmet with a metal mask in the form of a bearded face. They fought with long spear, sword, and even bow. Fantastic soldiers who fought in Ralios, Fronela, Kralorela and even Pamaltela.
