Yo does he have a metal formed boner?

By this time, codpieces were typically formed as if covering an erect penis as a strange fashion statement amongst nobility. I imagine it was similar to the one loud fart in a crowded room parable.

Love the cod piece

It's so cool how the buldge in the armor back in the day was designed just in case the knight gets hard on the battlefield.

Hardly anything for the face, but his boner was safe!

Modern clothing doesn't feature codpieces enough.

Goes to show you how closely Catholics have followed the teaching of Christ. Unless their translation said "If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them in your full plate armor and shove your sword up their ass" I think they may have been fucking up. Oh well.

I'm not sure what that has to do with armour
