Sometimes, I wonder how they went to the bathroom if they had to go right before a battle.... [laugh] If you needed to go, that would be the time! [laugh]

One must assume that it would have happened and probably it would not have been a rare incident. There were only two options:
a. Hold it until you can take off your armour b. Relieve yourself in the armour. The latter was probably the only realistic option. |

To continue with these examples of fine armour I would love to submit these pictures.
The first two are the ceremonial armour of Grandmaster Alof de Wignacourt. He was Grandmaster of the Knights Hospitaller between 1601 and 1622. The last picture is his horse's Champron. |
