How Knights Actually Used Their Weapons in Battle (Not Like the Movies) - Forget the slow, graceful duels Hollywood loves. Real medieval combat wasn’t about elegance, it was about survival. Knights didn’t swing swords for show; they used every edge, point, and dirty trick to crush, pierce, and overwhelm. In this video, we uncover what really happened when steel met flesh. How longswords were used more like crowbars than blades. How maces shattered bones through armor. How poleaxes turned into the knight’s true weapon of choice; brutal, efficient, and designed for chaos.
