You can see why knights stopped using shields by the 1300s. When you BECOME the shield, its alot better to have both of your hands for holding some big hurty thing.
Exactly. The shield is already strabed around his body, so he can use both hands, but even than it's harder for him in grappling or make thrusts from a halfsword. For fighting without a shield he definitely needs more leg protection.
... you are aware Knights never stopped using shields right? Crossbows and maces and axes existed. All hard counters to even the best armor of the time.
@@dequitem Maces were invented to fight metal armor. That is the purpose for thier existance. And well made war axes can easily mangle most of the pieces of the platemail suit. The only thing that stops the axe is a rounded enough breast plate, though that won't matter much with broken arms and broken legs.
@@annoyedmarine1578 Crossbows performed very poorly against plate, the assertion that crossbows were effective against all armor has been demonstrably debunked by people testing even ridiculously high poundage crossbows against replica armor. The crossbow was feared in its time for its ease of use and its effectiveness against more common armors that made up the armies of the time period. Things like simple gambeson or mail layered over a gambeson. Not for it's effectiveness against ALL armor. There are videos of crossbows with poundages exceeding 900lbs merely denting replica steel plate armor (skallagrim has an old video on this topic and the armor he used was actually non-historical because it was too thin for the time period it was meant to represent. As in it performed worse than a period piece would've and still was merely dented by repeated hits taking several hits to the same place to compromise the plate in any meaningul way). Of course there's always the case of the lucky shot but those are, again, lucky. Not common. Flukes almost. Anything can more or less kill if you get lucky enough to hit them through an eyeslit or where you're only striking mail and gambeson but at that point you're not talking about "defeating steel plate armor" you're just subverting it because your weapon is insufficient to deal a lethal blow through the primary armor. At that point you may as well call arming swords "effective against even the heaviest armor" regardless of the fact that they're nigh useless against plate outside of, again, finding gaps which is absurdly hard to do. Not even pointing out the later you go the harder this becomes as armor grows more and more full in it's coverage to the point where some basically had next to no easily exploitable gaps.

People are talking about the dagger, but just before it was a beautiful use of the guard as a stabbing implement. All of the sword is a weapon, never forget!
Zweihender were used as bodyguards, so they never fight in close formation. The other one is made to fight in formation to make a Shield wall so his equipment isn't adapted to a duel. But this duel is awesome, thank you for this.
That's not true. There are many sources for knights fighting in full armor duels and tournaments with Zweihänder. Example: Kassler Tunierbuch, Freydal...
He looked clunky with the shield, like he didn't know what to do with it and forgot about it half the time. Maybe that's what they were going for in this. Maybe I'd look that clunky and clueless in his position too, won't know for sure unless I actually do it. Anybody got a shield and some armor I can borrow?
I've been in medieval combat for 31 years. I have to say the zweihander fighter is clearly a superior fighter. The sword and shield guy could way more to keep range inside or outside the reach of his opponent. Also his guard never changes keeping himself protected from his opponents guard. His strikes are all basically the same. No wraps, darkside, moleigh, feints, fakes, etc. His footwork is robotic. Just straight forward and no steps to the side to exploit and angle. Not to mention alot of his shots are telegraphed making them easily seen and blocked or avoided all together. He also doesn't use his shield as a weapon or a tool to create more opportunities/openings to strike. Not a fare comparison in my opinion. The zweihander fighter seems like he has twice as much experience.
You broke it down like an mma fight. That’s a big sword man. Were those swords any good with no armor. I wonder why people train this stuff. And Where do they get this medieval knight armor?
Looks like the long sword has the advantage. The dude in the brig looks slow in comparison. I wonder if thats because the guy in plate has more experience moving in his armor or is it lighter than the other guys set up. Maybe a buckcler would be a better choice for a shield.
In full armor, he didn't need the protection of the heatershield. Yes I am more experienced and I think the mobility and reach is more important than the extra protection in harness fencing. But it was an interesting experiment.
@@jimmythehand7409 it's steel and Titanium... Helmet and breast are steel, rest titanium, but it's noch much lighter, because I used thicker plates than historicaly. So it's 30 kg.
@dequitem very nice. I bet you'd be a formidable in a longsword match. I would like a set of plate in the future. Right now, I'm training and learning.
in open 1v1 against alone line heavy infantry man it sure has. In BUHURT he would be useless, as two-handed swords in arms of knights used to break the line of shielded spear infantry, not heavy infantry.
The thing most people do not realize, is that late knight armor is as close to perfection as humanly possible. It is amazing in protecting you as there is almost no gaps in it. And it still allows you amazing range of mobility. When compared to the armor from most other cultures it is like comparing space ship to a wood wagon. I mean google Japanese armor that their top warriors and generals were equipped in, it was full of holes, bulky and awkward as fuck. Same goes for middle east, India and basically everyone else. If not for invention of firearms I wonder how battlefields would look like when more and more people on them would be able to afford that kind of protection.
It would be nice to see a round where the two of you swap weapons. The other gentleman's armor seems to be a bit more cumbersome, so I have to wonder if he is at more of a disadvantage due to his armor than the weapon itself.
@@dequitemis he better with a sword and shield? Or is he completely unfamiliar with any medieval fighting so whatever he’s handed he’s automatically better with? Or is he elderly maybe? The man would have been better off burying the shield into the ground and fighting around it with how little he made use of it. This looked more like a fight between an experienced person and a novice that can’t move very well
Reminds me of “Friday Knight Fights” full contact armored hand to hand combat. Even with blunt and blunt edged weapons and fully padded armor it was brutal.
Dude, that parry, about midway thru, then straight to a strike at the dudes neck was freaking choice!!! And then the speed there at the end to grab his secondary weapon and strike to the neck to win was also sick af!!! This was a very nice win for you bro...Who was it that you were fighting?
In a real battle the swords would've been secondary weapons, using a sword is useless against plate armor and I think that was demonstrated very well here. In a real battle blunt weapons like the back of a halberd, maces and Warhammers would've been used.
No it isn't the classic rondel from later armors, that shield is older and called Targe or Achselschild in German and is therefore to protect your left armpit a little bit better than a smaller rondel or Schwebescheibe in German Gothic armor.
‘Times are to scary! Don’t have kids!’ Meanwhile they fought like this, thought disease was bad juju, and the church ruled. And even further back short face bear existed, and we had to chase things for days even weeks to get it to stop and then we could eat. Times are amazing actually, having kids is how you change the world.
Wow! People don’t understand that you really need to be in very good condition to be successful in a fight or even unsuccessful but still last longer than 30 seconds
The armpit is the Achilles tendon in full suit armor. It's unprotected for the sake of mobility and also has major blood vessels running through it. Nice sparing vid, the accurate portral of technique with weapons & armor along with the rain in an open field adds a realistic feel to watching.
I like accurate depictions of this combat. The dagger in the opening in the armor was exactly how it was done once your opponent was off balance or open
Man, i just love how the two-hander uses the crossguard as a hammer when they tangle. Really using every available tool at your disposal. And a hammer hit right on the helmet is definitely gonna suck. Might not be lethal, but it will open you up for something, in this case a rondel.

This is so aesthetic. Just 2 warriors dueling it out In the rain 🤌
Imagine taking a casual hike and you hear clanging and banging and then you see this lol. "Wtf? It's a time slip. I have to tell AJ and Hecklefish!"
I know its a reenactment, but frighteningly accurate how our ancestor's fought
Noi guerrieri, siamo nati nell' epoca sbagliata...onore al vincitore 💪🏼
Grazie per queste splendide ricostruzioni ⚔️🤺🗡️🛡️💪🏼
I absolutely love the length of that heater shield! The ones I see don’t have much length.
Well Done dues vulting epic vids you have and nice armours 100 percent
Impressive display of halfswording by the zweihander
Wow!
That sword is huge!
That reach is crazy!
I like accurate depictions of this combat. The dagger in the opening in the armor was exactly how it was done once your opponent was off balance or open
Man, i just love how the two-hander uses the crossguard as a hammer when they tangle. Really using every available tool at your disposal. And a hammer hit right on the helmet is definitely gonna suck. Might not be lethal, but it will open you up for something, in this case a rondel.
Grabbing the zweihander by the blade is wild 😂😂
Veoma opasno oružje,kratki bodež,kojim se zadaje poslednji smrtonosni udarac.Otkriveni delovi na vratu.A tu je srčana aorta.Čovek je čoveka uboo nožićem od grickalice za nokte.U vrat,i smrt je nastupila za manje od 3 minuta.
Whether you like it or not lads, THIS is peak masculinity. Take the knightpill, become liegemaxxed
2 handed weapons dominated the battle field for a reason. That was an awesome duel.
