  • The path to knighthood started at the age of 7. A boy born of nobility was sent to a castle as a page and at age 14 he became a squire. As a squire he could go into battle as an assistant to a knight, and at age 21 they could become a full knight themselves.

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

  • @amazinglyidiotic8607
    @amazinglyidiotic8607 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2397

    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.

      @nanonicknack9062 6 ปีที่แล้ว +118

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

    • @t.knotto8942
      @t.knotto8942 6 ปีที่แล้ว +285

      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

    • @TheDragonfriday
      @TheDragonfriday 6 ปีที่แล้ว +95

      AmazinglyIdiotic the armor is surprisingly flexible too

    • @Xazamas
      @Xazamas 6 ปีที่แล้ว +153

      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.

    • @genghiskhan6809
      @genghiskhan6809 6 ปีที่แล้ว +46

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

  • @jackwilson9572
    @jackwilson9572 6 ปีที่แล้ว +798

    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.

  • @akusmith7924
    @akusmith7924 6 ปีที่แล้ว +283

    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.

  • @admiralgoodboy
    @admiralgoodboy 6 ปีที่แล้ว +129

    The crossbow was around long before the invention of gunpowder

  • @Castor586
    @Castor586 6 ปีที่แล้ว +289

    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

    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.

  • @kartoffelschloss6425
    @kartoffelschloss6425 6 ปีที่แล้ว +69

    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.

    • @SantomPh
      @SantomPh 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      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
