Knight in Shining Armour
Damsel in Distress
Explained
Lancelot was a Knight literally in
shining armour.
He rescued women from the arms
of dragons.
The BIRTH of the
KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR
is born!
A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR is someone who
helps you when you are in a difficult situation. She
looked around the bar to see if there was a knight
in shining armour who might come and save her
from this awful man.
The damsel in distress is a character of fiction. She is
almost inevitably a young, noble woman, who has been
placed in a dire predicament by a villain or a monster and
who requires a hero (knight in shining armour) to dash to
her rescue.
Maid Marian was a Damsel in
Distress. She was being forced to
marry the evil Sheriff of
Nottingham.
Robin Hood was maid Marian’s
knight in shining armour. Not
literally- he rescued her (without
the armour!).
