Mobility in Medieval Plate Armor. This video shows that full plate allows one to stand up from a fall with relative ease. Perhaps the most infamous example is the notion that "knights had to be hoisted into their saddles with a crane," which is as absurd as it is persistent even among many historians. Misconceptions and Questions Relating to Armor. Armor was worn only by knights.Wrong. Women of earlier times never fought in battle or wore armor.-Wrong. Armor was so expensive that only princes and rich nobility could afford it.-Wrong. Armor is extremely heavy and renders its wearer immobile.-Wrong. Knights had to be hoisted into their saddles with cranes.-Wrong.

  • Plate armor was really a lot less cumbersome than most people think, and it’s protection against blades weapons was unmatched. What was really an issue is when 8 peasants rushed you with big rocks and clubs and then held you down as they stabbed you through the gaps in your armor, that was no fun.

    • the idea of armoured knights being slow and cumbersome is due to the fact that at the time they were described that way because they were slow and cumbersome... compared to unarmoured soldiers. It's only relatively recently, with experimental archeology and whatnot, that we realized this. Imagine if you tried to describe a tank while only having a car to compare it to.

    • Well... you’d be able to hear them before they even got close enough. No ambush, stealth, or element of surprise. When you’re in a forest and you hear “ * clank clank clank * “, start running. Best chance is hiding and making an escape while the tin man gives away his location, but you might have a stamina advantage. Even if they are mobile, having an additional 30-ish pounds to your every movement has to be taxing. But I will admit that the thought of hearing steadily approaching clanking is really fucking funny.

  • There is even more. I have some time ago started walking with a weighted backpack. This is called rucking and is essentially what army soldiers do during training to improve their overall fitness and aerobic capacity. Over months of regular daily walks I would monitor my heart rate and slowly increase my pace and load to keep my heart rate around my target. My fitness improved to the point where walking with a backpack was less taxing than walking without it before I started my training. When the weight reached 45 pounds it became painful to walk due to uneven pressure on some parts of my body. I changed the backpack to a weighted vest of the same weight. But now thanks to this vest being *around* my trunk rather than on my back, it became very easy for me to walk around. I can confidently say that people who wore these contraptions would not have any problem moving around due to weight alone, as long as they also spend enough time each day training in them. Your body can adjust to the load, you learn to move in new ways that take the added load into account and all your muscles, tendons and joints strengthen to withstand it as well as your cardiovascular, aerobic and endurance.

As long as you are avoiding the high impact on your knees, you are good. You will actually increase bone density as well as muscle strength. Pressure on those tissues triggers them to strengthen. You should google "weight training bines vs normal bones" and typically you can find some pictures. They are thicker and more dense. Its like looking at a piece of wood vs a piece of rock.

It is documented that heavy metal armored conquistadors eventually started wearing the central american armors because their giant tin cans basically cooked them alive and was hard to navigate dense jungle and swamp in. While the native armor wasn't as "advanced" it fit the region it was made for by being light and letting air flow.

    • @@DTux5249 You have a point but one thing you forgot to mention is that armor is noisy so sneaking around can be difficult but what I’m talking about is when someone staying in the base defending... and some survivors or “base members” are coming back with a horde chasing them. So if you put it this way: Ten armored men with automatic fire mode on or single fire for ammo saving.. encounter a horde coming from obviously one side. And the defenders attack!! The defenders will eventually reload and lose sight of some the undead in the horde... so if they lost sight of the horde then they might get attacked from behind.... depending on the structure and how the zombies can get in so maybe zombies will crawl from holes or tunnels and get behind the defender and since the defender can’t hear anything and maybe one of their own men dies without noticing anything!! So I would say armor is for a “scenario” that has a 17% chance of occurring once each raid... then armor is there for that scenario. But scouting is best without armor ( like you said you need best mobility possible)

    • In the 15th and 16th century (gothic and renaisance) the plate armor was the most active, but sadly, either you have to be rich enough to afford it ( horse, armor, weapons, clothes under the armor, saddle etc) and that price is equal to modern tank (with different currency, but still a tank) your other option to get it is to loot. The best armory was in german territories (holy roman empire) and italian states. But id recomend for your fattas the italian, since german required for you to be unaturaly slim. They did this by having a certain thing on them. They were still mobile (i believe terrifingly even more so) but german knights had to make themself slim by wearing a piece of clothing that would be later used by women from 18th century to 1930's.

  • Agree with most of your points in your description other than implying that plate armour was affordable... it certainly wasn't. Good full plate was still 6-12 months wages on a typical soldier's wages and it would be several years wages for lower paid peasants so its still pretty expensive. You'd have to be wealthy and at least of the upper classes to afford. Also I think some of these videos on the mobility are a bit misleading. Watch some of the videos from the modern fully armoured fighting series in eastern Europe and see how quickly the wearers get puffed out and can barely move through exhaustion. Yes you might be able to sprint but not for very long.

    @harrymorton6872@harrymorton68725 ай бұрын

    • The overall affordability of armor varied from period to period in the Middle Ages, though. While in general it was still quite expensive, plates (not necessarily full plates, but still) were starting to become more affordable and more sophisticated as time went on. Sure, still expensive, but take into account that in the Early Middle Ages pretty much *nobody* had any armor to speak of and knights only had chain mail. Fast forward to the later stages of the Middle Ages centuries after and decent brigandines were starting to pop up more and more frequently amongst common soldiers while the knights just simply got even more sophisticated armor. Warfare in general was trending more towards armored warfare as time went on. Until *G U N* happened...

    • Well, they never worn one before - so they're just using some instinct and imagination. For things like this, even when thinking with logic, you might visualize something incorrectly because you have never experienced it (never perceived and familiarized those particular, specific physical sensations before. Like seeing a cake, knowing its gonna be sweet and stuff, and eating it and realizing it's not exactly what you thought it'd taste like - maybe there's unexpected texture and all. Still sweet though.) Things get clearer with hindsight and experience. But you're right, thinking critically with regard to detail like that does help in tempering your visualization/imagination. Think Critically (the Concentrated kind - Not the confrontational/conflict kind)

  • People probably mistake jousting armour as the real wartime armour. Those competition armour are heavy and thicker. Knights train hard and prepared for their day in the battlefield and are part of the nobility in addition to being the “special forces” of the army, surely they would demand and have authority to demand armourers to make armours that will showcase their hardwork and skills.
