I'm guessing this is ceremonial armor? And is that a devil I see? I thought a knight would consider this sort of thing a heresy.
>>910442
Clearly you know very little about knights.
play some mount and blade; warband and you'll understand how nasty knights were
it's literally a trained-from-birth fucker with a 4-inch thick length of wood covered in armour that makes him basically invulnerable to anything but a crossbow or one of those pointed hammer things, sitting astride several hundred kilos of angry fuck you charging at 60ish kilometres per hour right at you
the crusaders failed due to logistical problems and the fact that they were fighting in unfamiliar terrain while underfed and poorly supplied, with gear that wasn't suited to the environment
mongols are basically irrelevant to european knights, read a fucking book nigger
the french got fucked by anglo-welsh longbowmen because of the longbow's unprecedented penetrative power against iron armour (which it didn't really possess against steel), plus the fact that the french feudal knights had no concept of tactics or discipline and (as shown at crecy) just charged straight in like retards as soon as they saw the enemy in almost every case
pike-armed troops rarely actually got kills against cavalry, mainly because squares of pikes were nigh-impossible to charge - what they did do was discourage cavalry troops from attacking head-on, allowing musket-armed or crossbow-armed troops to act with greater impunity, not that pikes have any real relevance to knights anyway, as feudal knights had almost entirely ceased to be a thing by the time pikes were a combat mainstay

Look up the 2nd Mongol invasion of Hungary, Mongs got rekt.
>>913553

>>913562
Hungarians are white people.
t. half Hungarian
>>913586
>half mong
>>913602
Look up their population genetics, Hungarians are basically just Germano-Slavs. They have nothing whatsoever to do with Asians.
>>913612

Dost thou even hoist?
>>913672
there is no way that sword was used in battle
>>913660
Go back to /int/ with this shit
>>913685
Don't know much about history of swords then senpai
>>913685
People that used those swords were paid the highest actually
>>913698
I know some exceptionally large swords were used purely to show off your wealth and not as actual combat tools that thing sure as hell looks like one of them.
>>913708
isn't that thing too big even for zweihander?
>>913712
They have sits of armor in the field museum that were made for people that were 7ft tall
>>913716
Suits
>>913716
and they were made purely to show off just like that fucking sword...
>>913727
I don't think so
>>913709
That's a german master swordsmans sword right there
>>913727
Nah that sword is pretty functional. Maybe it's a little big for the guy that suit of armor was made for but there's no reason to believe they both belonged to the same guy anyway.
ITT : we treat a complex social, military and political rank that changes drastically over the 1000 years they exist, as just a type of soldier.
>>913788
That's a big hilt.
>>913891
knights sucked dicks and were immobile and stupid and shit and that's a commonly agreed upon historical fact

>I'm guessing this is ceremonial armor?
Most of those are jousting. The easiest way to tell it is to look at the helmet - if it has absolutely dogshit visibility and requires you to bend over a little to see anything in front of you it's jousting armour.

>longbow's unprecedented penetrative power against iron armour
wat?
>which it didn't really possess against steel
wat^2?
"Iron" = Steel anon. Just more shoddy one. And the sources show that French got kicked in Agincourt after bowmen ran out of arrows and encircled them fighting melee this time around
>>914820
Not necessarily, I remember reading in a book on armor from the 18th century that the Armet and other poor visibility helmets were used to protect knights who weren't actively in combat and the buffe would be unhinged or removed in combat
