The MET Museum has an astonishing video which is a must see... Please see http://www.metmuseum.org/metmedia/vi...rmor-galleries ... personally I had not realised how easy to move around in was armour... and that a Knight could get on and off his horse unaided...or that Jousting Helms were bolted onto the armour! Please view this remarkable documentary.
