>most iconic armor of the middle ages

Best thing you can do is to explain to anybody you come across making those errors about the truth of the matter; That knights wore mail up until the 1300s, that plate armor wasn't very heavy or restrictive, and so on. Or, you can ignore them and sperg out with like-minded autistic people on the internet. I like doing both, myself.
