You're actually pretty stupid, or new, just for commenting this obvious stupidity. Fuck off you fucking idiot.

And yes, I want to live in a time where people gathered in the tavern fire and told spoopy stories of things in the forest. No, we wouldn't be the same lazy, sitting fucks. We'd be raised differently, either training for battle or learning to till the fields. Back then there were no toys. Children were treated as adults pretty early on so they didn't get to become PC tumblrinas by the time they were 20. By 20, you were already a hardened man, unlike today.

Although to be honest, you could only really be a well-armored knight if you were born into nobility. They were like the "1%" of today. So we'd all be peasants.

Old European knights were nothing like their folklore, they were literally just roving mercenaries ready to fuck up whoever and whatever at some faggot noble's command in exchange for the right price.

I do admit though that the folklore knight is the most compelling character ever, I think Dark Souls really tapped into something with their world building. the idea of being in a decayed world in ruins with just a set of armour and a giant sword between you and death is pretty cool.

From " George Silver's Paradoxes of Defense" published in 1599

...continually in danger of every cross, that shall happen to be made with their rapier blades, which being done, within the half rapier; (unless both are of one mind with all speed to depart, which seldom or never happens between men of valiant disposition,) it is impossible to uncross, or get out, or avoid the stabs of the daggers.

>>69768884
also on 2h swords not being used.
From silver again

Of the vantages of weapons in their kinds, places, & times, both in private and public fight.


First I will begin with the worst weapon, an imperfect and insufficient weapon, and not worth the speaking of, but now being highly esteemed, therefore not to be unremembered. That is, the single rapier, and rapier and poniard.

The single sword has the vantage against the single rapier.

The sword and dagger has the vantage against the rapier and poniard.

The sword & target has the advantage against the sword and dagger, or the rapier and poniard.

The sword and buckler has advantage against the sword and target, the sword and dagger, or rapier and poniard.

The two handed sword has the vantage against the sword and target, the sword and buckler, the sword and dagger, or rapier and poniard.

The battle axe, the halberd, the black-bill, or such like weapons of weight, appertaining unto guard or battle, are all one in fight, and have advantage against the two handed sword, the sword and buckler, the sword and target, the sword and dagger, or the rapier and poniard.

The short staff or half pike, forest bill, partisan, or glaive, or such like weapons of perfect length, have the advantage against the battle axe, the halberd, the black bill, the two handed sword, the sword and target, and are too hard for two swords and daggers, or two rapier and poniards with gauntlets, and for the long staff and morris pike.

The long staff, morris pike, or javelin, or such like weapons above the perfect length, have advantage against all manner of weapons, the short staff, the Welch hook, partisan, or glaive, or such like weapons of vantage excepted, yet are too weak for two swords and daggers or two sword and bucklers, or two rapiers and poniards with gauntlets, because they are too long to thrust, strike, and turn speedily. And by reason of the large distance, one of the sword and dagger-men will get behind him.

>I want to be a fucking knight
Only nobles were allowed to be knights unless you got lucky with a knight taking fucking pity on you and takes you as his squire/apprentice. The shitty soldiers weren't called knights most were conscripts and were used as cannon fodder, "numbers win wars" was true before gunpowder and bow and arrow.

>white people lived
And died from shitty diseases because they literally threw their shit out the window onto the streets, every town and village stank of human and animal waste, and when they did start to throw it into the sea, they still drank and ate out of it like poo Indians. Even more died from famine and wars.

>Now we have is technology and lack of purpose
Wigger, this technology allows us to shitpost so that anyone (mostly) from around the world can see and get information about practically anything. Our purpose now is to try to preserve the Earth while also furthering human advancement and space exploration.

Unless you're high Born and linked to the Royal family in some way, you'll be dead by the age of 30. Living knee deep in shit and serving every day to the noblemen.

There was black black people in the middle ages. They lived near ports and sea towns where they work on the ships.

Get a cut, you die. Get the flu, you die. No heating in your house, just a pig (if your lucky) that shits through the night and that was your home heating system, still freezing to death because it's like -10 outside.

Even if you were Anglo, you're family was one of the crybabies who left because you weren't high born and claimed the king bullied you. You'd of been a pig farmer working 15 hours a day just to survive.
