MODERATORS
So which one is closer to reality?
Wearing unmarked armor and no helmet seems suicidal. You want to protect your head and be easily recognizable to your allies.
You also want to be easily recognizable to your enemies, so when you lose, instead of getting killed by some random peasant you get captured and ransomed back to your family.
Is the point of this meme to point out that the real Henry V was not just a field commander planing and directing from far away, but he was also a combatant really physically fighting with armour and everything?
The left, though he probably would have been wearing a closed visor and mitten gauntlets if expecting to face actual combat.
Praised as the second, criticized as the first. Maybe.
pretty sure the entire world would laugh at him if he showed up not plastered in the correct colors
It's like a football player wearing jeans and a tshirt, it's just bizzarre
