Armour experts, did History Channel fuck up here? There'

Not entirely inaccurate, though. Armor wasn't standardized and pieces could be passed down from generation to generation. A kight might not have had the money for a proper helm or perhaps the original helm was lost in combat. Perhaps the knight was old fashioned and didn't want a new fangled visor and wanted something his father or grand father wore.

What type of armor / melee weapon from world history pre-1800 would be ideal for 1 v 1 combat? I don't know shit about Old World warfare.

The conquistadors had plate armor and steel pikes, didn't they? They fared well against the natives.

They only had cuirasses, full plate armor was pointless by then but armored breastplates could still stop some bullets and arrows
