I just finished reading The Song of Roland, an epic poem about a series of battles in Medieval Spain. Judging by this narrative, armor was a waste of time as the knights wearing it were routinely run through front to back with spears, and a sword blow would split both helmet and skull. To top it off, when they had to flee for their lives a deep river was certain death by drowning. Probably a lot of hyperbole there.
