Knights did not have it worse than most. Serfs did
@AIHubHistory
Love how you bring history to life! Medieval times are so much more than just knights and castles — this video really shows that.
@Kraken9911
There's a reason the medieval genre is so popular. We all secretly wish to be part of something like that and free from the stresses of a modern life. It's a lot simpler but can very satisfying. Is it harder? Yes but doing work that you can see benefits everyone is a hell of a lot better than modern work where you leave feeling like you've done nothing useful.
@cerberusloyalist5038
So basically you trained from childhood to become as physically and mentally strong as humanely possible in order to become a great warrior for your liege and judiciary for the common folk. You'll suffer physical ailments common to being an athlete and for which you'll have unlimited amounts of alcohol to if not soothe, forget. You'll die honored by peasant and noble alike for whom you gave fealty and justice and 800 years later humanity will still tell tales about your knightly brotherhood, and struggle to make it sound like anything but an honor and duty many of us modern folk will never come close to achieving.

Consider the alternatives... Medieval life was hell for everyone except the richest of nobles, and even they realized that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Knights had to be trained well and equipped with the best armor if they wanted their kingdoms to last.
@MedievalSurvival-n6z
Life was really hard, thanks for the story.

I would happily confess my thoughts about the millers daughter but the priest would be mortified when he hears my thoughts on the blacksmiths wife😊
@renevalice3056
the class of fighters from western/eastern Europe were destined to become obsolete. expensive armor, lifelong training, and particular weapons made them candidates for elimination over time- peasant armies, new weaponry, and cheaper alternatives in war had knights on the unfortunate side of medieval Darwinism.
@joshuayow4653
My gallowglass ancestors loved knights. Knights would pay gallowglass big money to break the other guy's lines. Makes me wish for a time machine.
@deejagers716
that was only few hundreds years ago.. we are lucky to live in this "normal" time with all luxury
@MrDonk-r6b
At least you see things coming, not like getting bombed from 3 miles up.
@pcolamojoe8840
Upon seeing the enemy, Sir Render a most cowardly of knights, fled the battlefield in shame.
@williamburroughs9686
You make it sound like being knighted on the battlefield was a bad thing. But I bet that was the best promotion they got in there lives.
@bh782
Bad knees and back problems after 30....knights and modern military combat arms/sof operators have MANY similarities
@JSFTR
I love the medieval times it was a crazy time to live in they had all these elixirs
@MikeRivkees
Does anyone find the AI script writing EXTREMELY obvious on this channel? Can’t even watch these videos.
@fatman6061
this is the first of these videos i have to disagree with. knights in armor were very mobile. there was a reason they wore it. it worked
@sirmalus5153
But armour was flexible (jointed) when worn properly. The myth of being helpless on their back and unable to mount horses due to weight, is a hollywood myth. A lot of armour weighed more than 60LBS, as not all knights were small men. My own armour weighs around 80LBS and is thick enough to be 'battle ready' i.e. made from 14 gauge metal for the important parts (around 2mm) The eye slits also offer a good view ahead, as the slits in the helmet are close to the eyes, not several inches away from them. Too the front visibility is quite adequate.
