You mean knights — the medieval heavy cavalry: usually noble warriors who fought on horseback in armor. They trained from youth (page → squire → knight), followed ideals of chivalry, and wore chainmail evolving into plate armor. Their battlefield role was the shock cavalry charge; their dominance declined with the rise of disciplined infantry, longbows/crossbows and gunpowder weapons.
