You cannot compare armor created in the end of the 17th century with the bronze field plate armor worn by the Ancient Greek.IIRC, the guy in the video doing cartwheels in plate armor is wearing a modern reproduction of 15th century armor. This doesn't tell us a lot about what a knight in the 12th century or an even earlier time might have been able to do wearing a full suit of plate armor.It's like comparing a hand ax with a bardiche.</blockquote>
