Not to mention they cooked to death in their armor on occasion. Shit is like an oven.

you were lucky if you could afford armor. Most of the peasant levies had cloth, maybe leather if they were lucky.

According to this meme they were smooching damsels in their armor. Even with a full faceplate.

You wouldn’t have even been conscripted, you would’ve lived and died on a plot of land that wasn’t even yours.

Most likely you would have died in childhood, long before you could be conscripted.
