Knight Sword Medieval
was medieval European armor actually helpful or was it just for show?
you know those Medieval Knights dressed up in all that armor(looking awesome). did that armor actually protect them? i mean i saw some pictures and swords spears arrows had went through them like hot knife through butter. is that why Muslims owned them earlier ? because they actually made armor that was offered enough protection and allowed the soldiers to move more easier?
The armor protected them very well against arrows and swords. Don’t believe what you see in movies.
They actually beat he muslims in the crusades. After a one-year march through the Balkans and the Middle East they were strong enough to beat the Arab armies and occupy the Holy Land for 200 years.
Body armor was only used by knights, as it was very expensive. Ordinary soldiers had to do with Chain Mail.
Armor became useless after the invention of firearms, to which armor was no protection.
