Thhen there's the shields, longsword, misericord, personal death-dealing weapon of choice etc..

2. Try reading the link I posted, if you want to ignore my informed opinion.

3. Try being a little more civil.
If by saying Phillips such nonsense is not civil enough for you I think you need to reevaluate some things

As I said when I was fourteen I was already 6' and 170 is pounds so what're ah. And I don't consider my diet likely to be radically different from that of an aristocrat in the medieval times in terms of acquired protein so I consider that point moot. Not to mention in the summer time hitch appears to be the entirety of robs life they fruits and vegetables are more than Plentiful.

As I said modern combat gear is just as heavy and 17 year olds seem more than capable of carrying it on the modern battlefield. I'm not impressed by the knights weights it was as I said magnificently well distributed the harness was not 100 pounds more like 60 and a medieval knight is not sprinting around the battlefield throwing himself up and down. He was mounted on a gigantic warhorse and was charging around.

I read your link I wasn't impressed. I think in your quest to prove me martins ignorance you are either ignoring facts or embellishing some of your own
