Myth that plate armour is heavy and restricts movement. Mail is heavier.

Ok, no, plate armor wasn't heavy. It weighed about the same as football armor and didn't restrict movement, with videos of people vaulting and climbing obstacles clad head to toe in plate armor. I need to point that out as it's a common misconception the plate armor was heavy.

AmazinglyIdiotic Watch the video 'Can you move in plate armour' if you want to see just how flexible a harness can be.

AmazinglyIdiotic yes, a full suit was pretty heavy but it's cleverly designed to distribute weight all throughout the body especially the hips, which made it a lot easier to move in along with several joints and bits of articulation it also allows the user to be flexible

Misconception may be reinforced by the fact that knights often used much heavier armor in tournaments where you were far less likely to get stabbed through visor if/when you fell to the ground and were expected to take hits.

The armor was heavy, it was although very cleverly distributed so it didn’t feel as heavy as it actually was.

Full playe armor didn't make you less mobile, you can see people in actual full plate armor doing handstands, running, and jumping. This armor weighs about the same as today's soldiers equipment.

Common misconception but full plate armor is actually very maneuverable. There are some videos you can watch with people sprinting and even doing cartwheels in full plate.

The crossbow was around long before the invention of gunpowder

Interestingly enough, someone decided to hold a race through an obstacle course between a firefighter, a modern soldier, and a knight in full plate armor. All three were wearing their full gear including helmets. Surprisingly enough, the knight made it through with the fastest time, followed by the firefighter (who had the heaviest equipment load) with the soldier taking third place. It was speculated that though the knight was wearing plate armor, it was tailor made for him and didn't hinder his movement very much

Please do the FG-42 for the next weapons video!

2:35 - Limited mobility, you say? I think Shad would like to have a word with you.

That blue knight in the joust must have been like "Sweet lord, I just cant beat this guy!"

Awww the good old days, were you were considered lucky if you lived to 30...

I remember reading about knights and seeing the images when I was 7-8 years old lol. At that time I didnt realize it but it was only the beginning for my of history. I only realized know that some of my actions directly led me to appreciate history as it is right now. This video brought back memories from that period. Thank you simple history for doing this.

I love how short and concise your videos are. Very informative and doesn't need so much time to explain something. Keep doing what you do!

What did the Pirate Knight say when he got surprised? "chivalry timbers!" i'm gonna die now.

Excelent video. I used your videos for my history classes. Teachers and students love it.

hi simple history were learning about the Vietnam war and i showed the tunnel rat vid and watched it so thanks alot😊😊

The armored mounted warrior is a military unit a man at arms. A knight was a status or class title like baron or any others I can't think of off the top of my head. Because armor and other necessities were expensive most men at arms were knights but not all knights were men at arms.

Kartoffelschloss Knights were simply people given titles by a king. Some were landed knights who had a keep and some peasants who worked for him. Others were promoted to barony, earldom or full lordship. Each level had knights below it who served as household soldiers and officers. Royalty were given noble titles in order to gain knights. So basically once someone becomes a knight they could be any level of nobility

I would love to see more videos describing the different groups of Knights. Pope Urban II would be very proud of this video!

This was so awesome. Love these medieval videos!

Hey Simple History, just want to say that Iove your videos! I have a degree in history, and I love learning. Your videos are quick and easy ways to satisfy my thirst for knowledge. Thanks for all you do and for making history enjoyable, fun, and interesting! :)

Keep up the great work! Would like to see more Medieval content like the 100 Year War and the Crusades, or maybe even the Napoleonic Wars?

I am learning about knights in history class and i did not quite understand it but this video helped a lot, love your content, keep it on!

The next person who tells me chivalry is dead is getting a slap to the face, and no your not becoming a knight. Thanks Simple History for bringing the past more enjoyable and memorable!

Loved this episode, please more medival people!

I love your videos there very interesting in the future can you do the Ross Rifle

Is it possible to make a video about the siege of Malta or the knights hospitallier? Amazing videos I keep up with them whenever you upload :D

Very nice

0:43 Armoured Skeptic confirmed.

finally something related to Knights!

Plate was heavy and limited movement, but not to the extreme degree many might think. Knights were fully capable of mounting their horses, doing frontflips, getting up on their own, etc.

Love videos

I love the medival age topic

I like this Medival type video. You guys should do Samurai and shinobi (ninja)

This will help me on my Middle Ages text tomorrow! Thank you!

Can you do the battle of Meuse-Argonne?

Next time the janissaries of the ottoman empire?

Can you please talk about the panzer 8 Maus? I would really want to see it in your animations

Can you do Simo Hyaha aka the white death I think that would be good for a strange story video and awesome job with the videos and keep up the good work
