No way anyone would buy that this handsome fuck turned into s1 Bobby in less than 20 years. He would have been a great Renly though and not that twink they got.

shields were not commonly used by the time good quality plate armour became common. Usually you'd need a two handed weapon to penetrate the armour so you'd usually be better off not bothering

Perfect casting

You're right in that shields became less common in the late middle ages, because plate was developed to get rid of them. But a two handed sword for armor? LOL. No. Most plate wearers rode horses, and used lances - and had shields as well, to deflect with, as they had dudes with polearms tring to unhorse them.

If they were on foot, they used demi-lances, or pollaxes. Swords do fuck all to plate. The image of two dudes in full plate hacking at each other with swords is dumb, it didn't happen. They'd just make a bunch of sparks and dull their swords. That's why more narrow, thrusting type swords were developed, to get a tip in between the plates, which is why at the peak of plate, they had plates over every part of the body, including the armpit. They had swords, but would only use them against non-plate combatants. If they were going against other dudes with plate, the hammers came out.

But shields were in use with plate, especially in jousting. That's one of the main activities plate was used in, and most of the full plate used in TV and movies is jousting armor. A shield was mandatory for jousting, to deflect the opponent's lance.

"Less common"? Sure. "Not common"? Not accurate. And you have no idea what dudes in full plate did on the battlefield, because all you know is what you've seen on TV and in movies, which is rarely accurate. Most plate armor depicted is parade armor, which was ceremonial, and they'd have a big fuck off sword as part of it, along with a shield in many cases, to display a coat of arms.

Armour and shields are for nerds.

Its not very accurate to say that war cavalry all used shields by the time of full plate armor. Shields were dropped for shock cavalry as well because first off it doesnt deflect anything extra that your plate wont and second the improved mobility, reduced weight and reduced cost were all more "worth it". They used shields for cavalry charges when plate was just coming to and before that, but by the time of "full plate" they were phasing them out of combat roles.

Those antlers would make it super easy to kill him

They should make it into a big budget movie instead.
