Everyone knows armor that has wing means you go faster.

Just to say - the Polish nobleman had a duty to have equipment on their own. The Polish crown didn't pay anything for this nor for the service. If the crown require money on war, the parliament ( of nobleman) had to approve tax on themselves

No, but it was a good suggestion. I had a whole cache of photos to sort through, and just happened to get to the armor before I saw the comment.

Reminds me of an episode of Murdoch Mysteries, Game of Kings.

pretty sure I've had my ass handed to me by this dude in dark souls or elden
And mount and blade lol
There's an armour set with similar wing elements in Elder Scrolls Online, too
It's always so fascinating seeing new historical inspiration turn up for these games! It's truly cracked.
