Unless you come from a line of nobles the only thing your ancestors were training is tilling some ground.

It's hilarious how retarded this is.

>implying farmers weren't the most swole motherfuckers from working the fields all day while the "warriors" just practiced 2 hours of "wrestling" in the gaysexnasium before their skinnyfat asses were slaughtered

Nobles weren't killed, even if they were got to during the battle they were kept alive because they could be ransomed.

>Medieval training
Oh, my pet peeve:

>For an interesting contrast in the galleries of the Metropolitan Museum's Department of Arms and Armor, compare the (composite) German harness of about 1530 and the field armor attributed to Emperor Ferdinand I (1503–1564), of about 1555 (33.164). Neither armor is complete, and the sizes of the former owners are necessarily broad estimates, yet the differences in size and stature are remarkable: while [b]the owner of the first armor was probably around 6 feet 4 inches (ca. 193 cm) tall, with his chest measuring about 54 inches (137 cm) in circumference [/b], the owner of the latter harness, probably Emperor Ferdinand, does not appear to have measured more than about 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) in height.

>In order to emphasize Christoph's strength and strength, Munich legends tell the following story: In 1490, he took part in a chivalrous competition at the Munich residence, which he won. [b]Supposedly he could knock down a nail in the wall "12 Shoes from the Earth" (about 3.60 meters) with his foot; Besides, he supposedly threw a rock weighing 364 lbs for 9 meters.[/b]

>“Mysterious are the works of the Creator, the author of all things! When one comes to recount cases regarding the Franks, he cannot but glorify Allah (exalted is he!) and sanctify him, for he sees them as animals possessing the virtues of courage and fighting, but nothing else; just as animals have only the virtues of strength and carrying loads. I shall now give some instances of their doings and their curious mentality.”- Usama ibn Munqidh

>Handling the mace was a real art, considering their weight and specific shape. A good hero had to exercise every day so that he could use it properly in a battle or a duel. The mace weight varied, but we suppose it was from five to ten kilograms. Considering this weight, we can claim with certainty that men who used this weapon had to be very strong and skillful, because they most often used both hands.

Everyone fought when it was necessary, ya dink.

>>39700364
noble niggas WISH they had strong enough backs and shoulders to deform their skeleton

Actual medieval duels were nothing like these LARP fights

>>39700510
They did. Nobles did other exercises, of course. But if you look at the documentary about the Sterling Man (a Scottish knight/Man at arms), you can see he's built like a heavyweight rugby player. Tough as nails, too, survived a mace to the head and several arrows to the body.
