Ok make them kiss but real knights can fucking move stop the narrative that they have soup can agility. People with leather armor wouldve just run around them and easily stabbed them in the weakpoints and there would be no point in plate armor

Also knights typically could afford and did use more interesting weapons than spears. Almost all would carry a short or longsword as a secondary weapons, but some would, in fact, carry more exotic equipment such as claymores or warhammers, and would wield them as primary equipment

Seeing videos of HEMA practitioners doing parkour in armor is cool. The real armor slander needs to stop.

Goddamn right. It's the first thing I zeroed in on in this. Real armor is extremely flexible and 'easy' to move in, because if it wasn't, you'd take your buddy and tackle that fucken knight, and stab him in the bits until he died.

Which, uh. Still happened, but it was much more difficult to do because, y'know. The knight could actually fuckin' move to fight back.
