What happens when you put professional rugby players in medieval armour? With the Doncaster Knights.
This video from the Royal Armouries pits professional rugby players from the Doncaster Knights against a series of challenges while clad in medieval armor. The experiment aims to explore the practicalities and effects of wearing historical armor in a modern athletic context. The video encourages viewer participation in the comments to determine if this concept could gain traction. It also serves as a promotion for the Royal Armouries museum, its educational initiatives, and support channels.
