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.

[@dequitem]

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.

[@annoyedmarine1578]

... 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]

@@annoyedmarine1578 maces and axes were not counters!

[@annoyedmarine1578]

@@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.

[@ThatGuyOrby]

@@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.

[@Aryan_homophobe]

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.

I keep rewatching this and that zwerchau counter is on point with the zweihander, the pivot is so nice and you turn his strike into a blunder so fast it’s crazy. It’s a good thing he IS wearing armor or he’d be in serious trouble you got him right in the mail that covers his neck

[@antoniobautista6718]

Great 1-on-1 duel for us history lovers to enjoy! I would like to say though that this type of duel shows why they each have different equipment. The knight with full plate armor was meant to be on horseback with other cavalry and mainly would not try to fight on the ground (although they were very much capable of doing so), and the eastern warrior with lamellar armor and a shield was meant to be in formation with others suited just like him on foot instead. Different situations would lead to either the knight or the footman winning depending on the numbers and proper command of each, not just complete domination by the knight because he is well armored.

[@dequitem]

These are both knights :D so both fight primary on horse back. But the middle european knight is suited for foot combat. The tarsets, targe and foot wear is optimized for foot combat!

[@TheBeardedAxe]

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.

To avoid a siege the English commander, Sir Richard Baborough came up with the idea that 30 men-at-arms from each side should fight it out. Which they did. They all fought on foot until a French knight decided to get a horse. It all went down hill for the English after that.there was nine English knights killed including the English commander.

Lol, holy shit! Did not see the dagger coming! Reminds me of the most excellent movie The King. Great video!
