To the second point: When peasants were drafted by their local lords the lord often would provide armor for his men. Also those arent uniforms, they look more like surcots which were often put over the armor and had the knight's heraldry attached to it. So in fact those "uniforms" arent that unrealistic
Actually, they did care quite a lot with this set. It is full of very accurate historical details, which is not a coincidence. This set was initially designed by Clemens Fiedler who knows a lot about medieval architecture.
The Medieval Period has no arbitrary ending year, as the Renaissance reached different parts of the continent at different times. The Renaissance only influenced the entirety of Europe by about the mid-1500s, so the pumpkin is accurate to a late-Medieval setting

Actually a lot of women faught in wars back then. Most of which were already extremely strong and looked completely masculine. Still, not a lot, but more than you think.
So did a lot fight or not? You contradict yourself in a span of one comment. The answer is hardly any fought because they weren’t typically allowed and even today when they are allowed they still don’t. 🤷♂️
Only reason they put in a female knight was not because they wanted it to be historically accurate, but because of the time period we live in. They have to put in a female knight because otherwise they’d not be matching up with their diversity quota and the Lego set would be deemed “misogynistic”
This was an interesting watch but it would go against my ethics to remove the woman knight. Odds are the only change I’d make if I had this set is taking out pumpkins.
Great video, but I don’t necessarily agree with the last point. From the high Middle Ages knight wore coats of arms and their retinues often would too. After the Infantry revolution in the late medieval period armies did begin to wear livery jackets- for example in the 100 years war the English soldiers began to wear White jackets with a Red Cross and the French began to wear Jackets usually Red or Blue with a White cross. Other examples: The Burgundians with their red saltire cross on white and blue, the Swiss with their little white crosses on their colourful outfits and the various English factions in the War of the Roses all having their own army livery. It was a wide spread practice all across late medieval Europe- which is what Lego sets typically represent judging by the plate armoured knights. As for the Women I agree mostly with it not being an authentic representation of the typical medieval army. However I wouldn’t go as far as to call it historically inaccurate as there are enough examples of female warriors, more so in some cultures than others, and also some very famous examples- e.g. Joan of Arc. That being said we all know the reason for Lego doing this isn’t because they aren’t aware of the history but rather the push of woke ideology. That being said it’s fantasy so maybe in that world women do fight often and that’ll be perfectly valid in that case.
Europeans or at the very least The norse knew about North America well before the 1400’s. It just was logistically a nightmare for vikings to settle with native’s attacking, and so few people to help settle. Despite this there is evidence that vikings did attempt a settlement around 1012ish.
Ok, but the kingdom could be one that provides its soldiers with armour. It could also be one that just lets women into the army. The pmpkin is a valid enough concern, but the other two could have happened in that specific kingdom.
I mean you could also assume that it is a norse blacksmith, as that would disprove the points you made, but then the building itself wouldn't be accurate
The pumpkin story is odd cause that would mean the headless horseman is a new world era story, cause we know the fact halloween originates from the irish
Ok, sure, but this blacksmith isn't set in real world. It's set in the LEGO World. It has it's own locations and story. So I really doubt any of this truly matters
First reason is wrong vikings got to america first, (in the 1000s) and they invaded lots of northern europe possibly bringing pumpkins with them, although they could be quite rare.
All of these things are not exactly accurate, but depending on regions of europe, there were certain times when that wouldn't be true. That being said, i can't think of region and period that would encompass all of those things all at once. Except for pumpkins. They don't fit anywhere. And i don't think they were commonly used as food till like, 1600s anyways. Similar with potatoes, apparently.

A medieval time blacksmith could still be working during the time pumkins showed up. As the two eras were back to back. (Yes im streching lol)
