>most iconic armor of the middle ages
>actually reached it's peak in XVIth century, used only at the very end of the medieval period

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.
