Simple History First

[@commamderryan6483]

Simple History you rock!

[@magajazed8575]

Simple History do a video on the m-4 carbine

[@Soraaksegundo]

Can you make something about the Medieval Nords? I have never heard of them in any history class ever.

[@LedgeTears377]

Vince PlayzGames stop being immature you little 8 year old

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

[@amazinglyidiotic8607]

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]

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

[@t.knotto8942]

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]

AmazinglyIdiotic the armor is surprisingly flexible too

[@Xazamas]

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]

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

[@jackwilson9572]

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]

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.

[@Castor586]

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

[@admiralgoodboy]

The crossbow was around long before the invention of gunpowder

[@richie_23]

[@napoleonbonaparte489]

[@napoleonbonaparte489]

yes it's a gun.

[@robertli3600]

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.

[@xxxxxx7469]

Wow armoured sceptic must be thousands of years old

[@pigeon4489]

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

[@scratchbeats3644]

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!

[@alejandrojoserodriguezarre45]

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

[@randomstranger_3]

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

[@mr.personhumanson6871]

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

[@unculturedswine7993]

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

[@riolufan2249]

*Sabaton plays in the background as an army of knights charge into battle* beauty at it's finest

[@paraylizedpugplays274]

This is a different type of history, but I like it!😂

[@untrustworthypoptart9144]

Wym? All history is history

[@carlsagan1377]

Wow, I didn’t know you did a collab with ArmoredSkeptic!

[@leggonarm9835]

Carl Sagan That's what I thought lol.

[@creeperkill3891]

[@Fullmetal1337]

[@emperorofdenmark8081]

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?

[@maplejaeger1285]

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!

[@Jbabcock93]

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! :)

[@abc64pan]

Love the animation style. Amazing that somehow it doesn't take away from the seriousness of the topic.

[@blazeiscrazy8737]

All hail Simple History, Archduke of Rodham and Knight to the King of England.

[@acrusaderknight6133]

DEUS VULT!

[@patrickha7862]

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!

[@kartoffelschloss6425]

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]

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

[@beatapiwowar3939]

A great Strange Stories episode could be made from the Cargo Cults formed from indigenous peoples in the South Pacific Islands not understanding what the modern tech passing by from WW2 was.

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.
