a good game to play to see this is kingdom come 2. the game even has historical background lore about this. (but players hate it as bows are no super sniper)

Yes but also once blunt weaponry became more widely used, they realized there wasn’t really any sort of armor that protects from blunt force trauma and started getting made cheaper and smaller

The reason we know armor was very effective is that people would actually use it. It was really expensive so nobody would use it if it didn't work.

Medieval mace especially spiked mace and flanged mace is plate armor's worst nightmare.

plus heavy armour still had joins and weak points as a well trained archer and well places arrow will take them down plus point blank arrow would penetrate

I never thought about how expensive a full suit of armor would have been.

I saw somewhere that buying a full plate armor for a medieval person is like today spending around $100k to $300k

On the efficacy of armor: I'm kind of surprised we don't see more people using lassos or grappling hooks and rope to take down heavy armored opponents.

How do you learn all this? I’m writing a novel set in a medieval inspired world and I’m not sure where or what to research

in those 2 battles (you missed poitiers in between). archers shot the horses bringing the knights down to the English knights and man at arms to their level.

also wasn't knight armor meant to protect against slashes and bashes and not stabs and arrows?
