Why did Ottoman Emperors not wear plate armor for personal protection?
>>18432949They were sissy fags.
It was not suited to their fighting style
Would full plate armour have worked in places like Morocco? Is it possible to utilise Western and Central European warfare in that kind of climate?
>>18433162It would be extremely uncomfortable.
>>18432949You mean to prevent assassinations? Because you don't really expect those to occur. Why didn't Louis I. of Orleans wear armor when he was cut down in the streets of Paris?>>18433162What even was the style armor medievial (which time period exactly?) marrocons wore? And how did medieval marrocon warfare play out?
>>18432949They wore multiple layers of maille instead. >>18433162No, but partial plate was worn at times.
>>18432949Why bother? You're not going to participate in fighting that much, existing armor worked for your environment & warfare style already (plated mail), and most of your killing is done at range anyway with firearms.
>>18433162lol wtf, Morocco wasn't even part of the Ottoman empire. Why is /his/ so dumb?
