dude basically carried the whole first crusade, Tancred too

Bohemond, the son of Ronert Guiscard. Those early Normans were built different. They fucked up Anglo-Saxon, French Knights, Muslim Arabs and east Romans alike

>>65218616
They more or less shaped medieval Europe yet your average person has never heard of the Hautevilles.

>>65218616
they were basically superhuman or something

>>65218586
A lifetime of training and the best equipment available produces results.

>>65218828
About as close to superhuman you can practically make.

Tancred of Hauteville had over a dozen sons and basically went to them and said that since they can't all inherit he'll teach them how to carve out their own kingdom themselves, and that's what they did. Him and his children were pretty much is the closest thing to the Emperor of Mankind and the Primarchs in real life.

Also worth noting that this in a time where a helmet and a full body suit of mail was the best armor they could get, and the turks had the luxury of riding as close as they wanted and shooting at stationary targets.

Killing knights got substantially harder as they got better armor.

The knights of the crusade didn't really show their stuff until Antioch where they nearly starved to death on multiple occasions only to somehow fight their way to victory again and again.

>>65218586
The whole point of mounted knights was so nobles could larp as warriors while facing minimal risk, even to the point the enemy would try to take them alive so both sides could still have rich larpers.

>>65219290
That came later. Knights were essentially middle-class when first established and were still an effective military force up until the Pikes of the 1500s. We saw a lot of cases where knights were essentially for putting down peasant rebellions or holding castles in a siege.
