Are you fucking stupid? Carry a 45 plate around for the day suspended from your belt and see how that feels for a start. Then stretch it out to four feet and take a few swings. It should be obvious that swords are lighter than 50 pounds you fucking retard.

"As leading sword expert Ewart Oakeshott unequivocally stated: "Medieval Swords are neither unwieldably heavy nor all alike - the average weight of any one of normal size is between 2.5 lb. and 3.5 lbs. Even the big hand-and-a-half 'war' swords rarely weigh more than 4.5 lbs."
You're either lying or illiterate

Do you think real life is one of your chinese cartoons?
Based. Wear platemail all day, body builds muscle to acclimate, take it off with the help of your beta squire, be faster after dropping 50 lbs of armor, be aesthetic, wenches mire.

Ransoms between knights only just barely even existed at the height of the age of Pageantry, when Chivalric codes were actual law. For most of the middle ages, "knights" were either just trained fighters with some money and local backing, or straight up mercenaries who stole their equipment and titles from the former camp.

Also knights could absolutely stand after falling from their horse. Unless the fall actually broke their spine (super common on horseback). Full plate weighed at most 40-50lbs and would usually be custom-fit to the owner. Read up on Medieval mercenary companies; the prevalence of this behavior was so high that Chaucer alludes to it in the Canterbury Tales.
If you stole some shit that didn't fit you and lost mobility because of it you'd usually just pawn it off to get drunk or screw around.

Might be interested in HEMA. ((Hollywood)) has well and truly tainted the image of medieval European arms and armour as crude and unsophisticated.

I don't have to imagine what a 45lb plate feels like stretched out dingus it's called the bar

it brings me joy to know that the bodies on the floor in OP pic related are muslims

Be born into a richass noble's family x1
Fuck your servant x5
Get drunk off your ass x3
Only show up to battles you were politically forced to xf
Get tutored by daddy's old soldier buddies and rock up in full armour, fucking obliterating peasants without either xf

I mean, still alpha, in its own way.

HEMA is as much larp as hollywood. It's based on (((interpretations))) of sparring manuals that had questionable relevance in their era.

Longbowmen weren’t common peasants, they had to train since childhood to use the longbow which gave them great upper body strength, they were also very good footmen

based

i still believe in the hierachy stuff like they start with nothing squire and they train to become knights and have better statuts

>this is your brain on McDonalds

That makes no sense, what is the point og having a sword that heavy, It would just make you slower, w

>trained in everything from the arts to etiquette to warfare from childhood
>given access to the best of everything
I suppose you have to neck yourself and be born a strict millionaire's son, OP.

Evidently shotput was pretty common in Medieval times as a sport and training

The training of one exceptional 15th century French knight, Boucicaut, was well-documented in at least one contemporary source. There are excerpts from the source in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=q-bnM5SuQkI

>they had to train since childhood
You could literally train longbowmen on the march my guy. It only wasn't as prevalent because peasants didn't fucking cooperate when levied unless you paid them or they really loved you.

>talking out of your ass

>To train a English longbowmen, start with his grandfather

>You could literally train longbowmen on the march my guy.
You could literally smash your head in and not get any less intelligent.

hes actually kinda based considering longbowmen didnt need to be very accurate they just needed the strength to actually draw the bow and be able to do it multiple times aside from basic military stuff
i mean lets say you got about 50 longbowmen firing at an enemy force you really dont need to give a shit where you aim one of you is probably going to hit

Real life isn't a movie or videogame lad

this is a tier below sardinia

I see archery has its tricks , my little cousins practice it and doesnt seems quite easy.
Having the mantain a speed pace to draw ,correct position, aim , and also mantain great strengths to pull it continously.
I mean its not rocket science but it has its ability and discipline at military level.
Also take in mind most forced conscripts gave few fucks about feudal feuds and only wished to go back home to keep plowing your peasant waifu.

This is skeleton of a Longbowman. Notice how he's right arm is fucking massive?

Correction, his left arm.

Is this not the equivalent of a modern alpha chad who’s family was wealthy and influencial enough to get him into the Airforce where he just drops bombs on opium loving sandniggers from a mile in the sky?

Very sad knigga.

Still those knights trained a lot in armour. That btfos the weighted vest haters desu

Daily reminder that Richard I was the original Chad.

to pierce armor isn't that obvious

Found the wee lad.

>what is the point og having a sword that heavy
Euro swords aren't particularly sharp. They're just big-ass tin openers.

They were all skinny,there was not enough protein for them back then
