  • A video shoving how to dress in and wear armor (harness) from late 14th century. The harness is a detailed reconstruction based on the effigy of the Black Prince (1330-1376) in the Canterbury Cathedral, other relevant effigies, paintings in 14th century manuscripts and late 14th century armour displayed in The Royal Armories in Leeds. For more info about this harnes also see the following videos:

    Ironically, You can actually move pretty well inside a suit of armour, hollywood depicts a suit of armour as heavy, bulky, hard to move, while in reality it was made and modified to benefit as much movement as possible without losing the protection part, so yes you can roll in a suit of armour, Dark souls was right.

The problem I have with this video is he has a chainmail shirt, a plate chestplate, a chainmail hood. The coat ontop, and then the helmets chainmail. Armour isn't exactly heavy but damn all that chainmail still on your shoulders is like- it doesn't quite feel necessary. I also realize his chainmail shirt I don't think I saw a belt to hold the weight on his stomach. Sure he had the "belt" on the coat. But that belt was held by a pin and seemed a lil loose. It's not tight to his body so also the weight of that chainmail shirt is on his shoulders.

      If by "men" you mean a few high-ranking knights who *could afford* a body armor (most Medieval era soldiers had no armor and would be lucky to have stolen a chainmail armor from a killed knight) and the few times they actually went into war, while spending 99% of their adult lives not wearing them, then sure. Also only the nobility and their hired mercenaries went to war back then. The by far most common class of people during the feudal era were peasants who grew crops, tended sheep and chopped timber for their landlords. And no, Medieval peasants never participated in wars.
      Last of all. Medieval nobility also had personal assistants helping them getting dressed up in armor before a battle. Those were called a squire.
      Great comparison you're making there.

    Any knight worth his salt wore his full kit often, so he was fighting fit. His armour was usually made to fit, and he could move well. It was tiring work, so even the fit could only fight at full throttle for so long. Age was between 15 and 35, above that increasingly rare and at the back taking their time. Being wealthy they could afford a better diet, and had time to train.
    Archers were effective against horse at long range, and less well armoured, but not so much against a knight. Enough so that at least in The British Isles pitch battles were fought on foot. Though at short range, 30m and multi hits from group fire, then knights couldn't push through that as neither their armour nor shields could take that punishment.
    Tactics and etiquette was so there was a good chance to survive a battle. High risk, high reward, but not suicide. Really depended on your team support as getting isolated was dangerous as the lesser troop mob could overwhelm the advantage knights had.
    Being a knight was a rich man's game as the kit cost a bomb.

      No, not impenetrable - English longbows could penetrate plate armor, as well as crossbows that were as common on the continent. Armor like this did protect against swords, but was vulnerable to the main short hand weapons of the time which were maces, axes and clubs. A sword is a damn elegant weapon, but whacking away with that on a plate armored enemy is bound to fail. Then you have a lot of soft spots, like under the arms that are not protected by anything but padding and chainmail - this is where a sword could penetrate, but it took a lot of skill and luck to make a stab like that. Also padding and chainmail protects against open wounds (quite dangerous in a time without knowledge about germs), but almost nothing against crushing damage done by clubs or maces. In fact, open wounds, even if they were minor were considered to be the worst that could happen - broken bones could be mended, an infected wound... yeah, pretty much a death sentence. But the risk of wounds was the driving factor behind all armor.
      But yeah, it looks damn cool.

      @@Kojak0 actually most armor was designed with both weapons up close and far away in mind. The way the breast plate curves is perfect example your more likely to take a arrow to the stomach or neck than chest and even then most armor had both chainmail and padding to protect from penetration. All things taken into account armor was a sophisticated form of protection in just about any scinario other than a rock being dropped on you. The parts about maces and hammers being effective against armour yes because they were designed to dent or pierce through on a small surface and then make that small hole bigger this rending the armor useless.

      About padding: One of its primary purposes was dampening blows (naturally not for the armor, but the wearer) from weapons with crushing force. Or as the reply above me said it, "bonk". But don't imagine it sustaining the damage by itself, the plate armor helped well with that. Pretty sure it was useless against penetration, but not useless entirely, especially since it also makes the plate armor more bearable to wear.
