Can knights get up after they have fallen?
A knight in armor for battle was very mobile. If he wasn’t, he would be susceptible to attacks from behind or from a faster moving unarmored opponent. In fact it is recorded that some knights were able to leap into there saddles from a standing position beside there horse. It is completely untrue that an armored man was unable to get up after falling. The old story about a knight being winched up in a crane to get on his horse is a figment of Mark Twains imagination i.e. “Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court”.
