    @@gurthus9540 No, that's not how this works. Remember they were wearing a padded garment underneath, which was made up of dozens of layers of cloth stitched together. That's what really matters when it comes to how hot it gets in armor. It's like wearing a winter jacket. The mail on top is pretty much irrelevant. But like shima luan says, in Europe (at least northern Europe), it's not very common for temperatures to go above 80 degrees. It will be hot in armor, but not unbearable, particularly if you're used to it. Though if I remember correctly, this was a real problem for the crusaders when they got into the middle east. For obvious reasons.

    Depending on the period of the armor and how heavy you decided to go, the only thing that would be near impossible is swimming, but even that depends on the specific armor and how much you train with it. Outside of swimming, medieval armor of any type would be the ultimate protection in a zombie scenario, but only against zombies. Other people with firearms still exist and neither plate or chain will stop a bullet. Even if you got surrounded and dragged down, you'd likely die from thirst before any zombies managed to get through the armor. x3

    I think it's because of the overlap of armor usage (11th century armor are still in use up to mid 12th century and this style of armor already around in late 12th century, instead of doing something similar twice, the production team choose to skip 12th century armor. The same could be said to the 14th and 15th century armor. Many 14th century armor are still widespread in early 15th century, so to give a better distinction the production team choose to skip the early 15th century armor and proceed with mid to late 15th century armor.

An incidental cut like that on your abdomen, arm or leg will only leave a slightly bleeding gash (unless stopped by armour, of course).. A 1/2 inch deep cut to the abdomen or shoulder hurts like heck, but does not incapacitate the fighter and won't kill him if treated anytime soon. (barring infections) But a 1/2 inch deep cut to the neck severs tendons or worse, cuts your jugular. Either is at least incapacitating, very likely lethal!

    Where did you get the mail for the legs? Like these particular ones. Most of them are just hanging on a belt on your waist which makes them very uncomfortable. But these ones actually distribute the weight over the entire leg. Been looking for such mail for years now. And attempts to make it myself have all failed.

    You aren't alone. The cliche sound of metal on metal when unsheathing a sword is such an egregious detail in a video that seems to aim to educate the masses about historically accurate armouring of men-at-arms. It is not as if this is a video made by an individual with no credentials presented. This is a video made by the Royal Armouries. Greater attention to detail should be expected and pandering to the masses with instances of dramatic flair, no matter how brief, doesn't belong in what is clearly educational content.

    It's a good video but some things are wrong. The chances of arrows or sword thrusts posing a threat to maille with padding is very, very unlikely unless it's a thrust from horseback or an arrow fired by a Welsh longbow of the period. Arrows are typically so ineffectual against maille of the period, especially those short compound bows used by horse archers like Turcapoles, that knights would literally use their bodies to shield civilians in one battle as arrows ineffectively either bounced off or lightly embedded themselves in the armor and got stuck in the links, causing them to look like Urchins. Also that coat of plate looks an awful lot like one from the 14th century, not the 13th century. There also may/should be some padding over the maille as well, at least I know the Spaniards wore it- a perpunte.

    While compound bows may have been no consequence to mail armor, longbows and crossbows were a significant threat to any mail-clad knight. Some accounts made by English knights say that arrows or bolts from the longbow and crossbow respectively could pierce their upper thigh and the mount underneath at 100 yards, pinning the knight to his horse. Lol.

    One question: the laces holding the legs mail were really fastened behind the knee and around the leg? Pardon me but it seems strange. To hold thw weight of the mail they should have been fastened tight, thus impeding the knight's blood circulation to the legs, and that's something you do not want to happen while fighting

    Quite alot. Knights and heavily armoured men would literally fall unconscious on the Battlefield from heat exhaustion. Crusaders however began to copy the Sara cans style of clothing and learnt to counter the effects of wearing armour in hot climates. Prolonged and drawn out battles were not good for knights if they were heavily involved in the fighting. But, they were generally unbelievablely fit, as fit as any professional athlete of today and they trained since they could walk to become a knight so they were very well prepared to fight in it.

    Water helps a lot, in addition to over garments to prevent heat exhaustion. Besides, if a knight needs to leave for worry of heat exhaustion he usually can. He can just ride his horse out and come back after a drink. If he is fighting on foot he can signal a few other men to defend him while he goes back in the line and allow someone else to fight for a while, and switch back after he has cooled down.

    Yes actually, small elements of plate protection would be developed for the arms and legs, and flat-top greathelms would be gradually phased out for conical sugar-loaf greathelms (though, for some time they were both used contemporary to one another). The coat of plates would also become more tailored as time went on.
