The myth that knights could barely move in their armor has finally been dispelled by Thrillist

I could have sworn I reblogged this last year. Hmm.

Accurate though. Makes sense; the knight’s kit is distributed across his body fairly evenly, and armour segments are very easily rotatable and fluid.
It’s kind of like, to a degree, suddenly gaining weight. You don’t lose your natural strength and agility, but you have a little bit more extra weight to bear. You can still sprint, jump, run, roll, somersault, etc, but not for quite as long without training yourself to do so.

I mean, Boucicaut had a book of fitness on all the insane stuff a knight should be able to do in full armour, and let me tell ya, the obstacle cause in the video doesn’t even come close.
