>>61577637why would you hang a dagger pointing at your dick?>>61577646archery is for homosexuals>>61577652cool as fuck. Love sallets and pollaxes
>>61577814>why would you hang a dagger pointing at your dick?See how the handle has two carved wooden spheres? That's called a bollock dagger. Medieval people liked dick jokes as much as we do. It's also surprisingly comfortable to hang it in front of your crotch, the practise probably predates the aesthetic.
>>61577882Of course I know what a bollock dagger is, but I've never heard of it being carried on the dick. Wouldn't it interfere with most armor, certainly cod pieces? From a quick search I can't find any other examples. What is this method of carrying called? Or can you point to some contemporary illustrations of daggers being carried like that?
>>61577646>>61577665I miss this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe
>>61577814>He doesn't like the cock holsterWhere else would you put it, in your ass?
>>61577814Why wouldnt you, if you had a dagger shaped like a dick?

>>61577814It's just medieval appendix carry
>>61577915>Wouldn't it interfere with most armor, certainly cod pieces?No not really. It's easily accessible to both hands whether standing or sitting. Pretty good place to carry a knife
>>61577915>I've never heard it being carried on the dickThat is literally the entire point of the bollock dagger. If you carry a bollock dagger on your side you are signalling to people you are a dweeb without a small cock and you probably don't even own a codpiece. It's like getting yourself a chest harness called "the big titty chest harness" shaped like double Ds, and wearing it as a backpack.
>>61577814>why would you hang a dagger pointing at your dickWhy indeed
>>61579398>>61578748Ain't that kinda a male fashion thing?
Do thegns count as knights?
>>61579920No, but they're cool anyway.
>>61579920no
13th century knight > knight in plate

>>61582413Ye olde practice poker
>>61577814Where else are you supposed to hang your cock and balls dagger?
>>61577665This is the peak. It gets no more Chadly than this.
>>61579920Saxons are cringe. Them and their little onion cutting knives that smell like onions.They're named after fucking tableware practically for Pete's sake.
>>61579742>nobleman's helmet>no maille coatfuck this.
Are Persian dehgân's knights?
>>61579920They are armed retainers of similar social status (one could call the knightly class, same as equites, samurai, etc), similar period, and descend from the same or related Germanic warrior cultures, but no. Knighthood is a specific office that is acquired by taking oaths and being knighted. A knight likewise is not a thegn.
>>61582828People in those days didn't use cutlery to eat and when it was introduced there was widespread concern it would turn everyone into pussies
>teleports in front of you at 300 yardsheh, nothing personnel nobleman

>>61584622It only worked because of perfect conditions. English were massacred by French knights again at a later date.
>>61577915cod pieces were a later development when they began wearing full plate which wasnt until the 1400s
>>61579920thegns, huscarls, and of course samurai, filled a similiar function to the Norman retainer known as a 'knyght'>>61583497all knights were men at arms though
>>61584622>works so great that you lose all holdings on the continent
>>61578735*Knigga

>>61584632>perfect conditionthat was repeated at numerous battles across several decades
>>61584675>oh yea we totally stomped the frogs>oh shit nigga you filled out your 1453 wrong, now you are going to lose all you land and have to pay dubble alimony should have gotten some better pencil pushers then
>>61584688There were multiple Kings on either side snd the black death halfway though, it was 100 years of conflicts with numerous ceasefires and peace treaties scattered thoughout.
>>61577814>archery is for homosexuals Scrawny-wristed manlet hands typed this.
>>61585913whats the fucking point of a ceasefire when the war just resumes afterward?
>>61584688British Empire dominates the world. “You took losses once!” Hmmmmmmm. Almost like the fortunes of nations wax and wane with their people.
>>61585856It’s him, it’s Sir Duck Duck Goose.
>>61585977>British Empire dominates the worldIf by "British Empire" you mean America then yes, they at least dominate the seas. Other than that though France has higher GDP (PPP) than the UK, more land, domestic MIC and a much more competent military (although that's not saying much) and almost twice the standing army of the UK.
>>61579398That's clearly just hanging on his side, not stabbed into his dick. Can we talk about his zoomer broccoli haircut though?
>>61585856All the ladies love a man with a big crest
and with all of your armour and horses and chivalry, you could still not stand before the pointy stick.
Were Roman Equites the first knights?
>>61584686Cite some more examples.
>>61585959A cease fire isn't a truce or the end to a war. It's just a temporary pause. The US is still technically at war with North Korea because a cease fire was declared but no peace treaty was ever signed.
