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

I may have re-bloggerised this before, but no matter.

@libertybill thoughts?

but can they roll around like in dark souls

Actually yes

@the-punforgiven

Yeah but bullets

I NEED TO SEE HIM ROLLING!

Here you go ^

The myth that armour was heavy comes from the 16th century. Jousting armour in those days was incredibly heavy (110lb/50kg) because it is designed to absorb the impact of a joust. At this time armour for field combat (much lighter, like in the video) was dying out. To combat early firearms, armour became thick and heavy, the term bulletproof comes from armour that was in fact bulletproof against muskets and early firearms. 

Heavy armour stuck in literature and poetry through the centuries which Hollywood picked up as a great meme. 

TL;DR – Combat armour 13th to 15th century was lightweight. Late armour was heavy and became a meme for centuries.
