true respect it would have been easy not to do it, and yet he did, which not only made him a hero, but also affirmed that the Reconquista would be complete in portugal for the next 100 years
Brave man, he probably knew he wouldn't survive. If the crushing weight didn't suffocate him, the enemies within will have, beaten, stabbed, cut, bludgeoned and possibly worse. The entire time, trying to dislodge him. He took it like a champ and appears to have died standing in fulfillment of his duty, as befits a man.
I mean think how desperate the moors would have been. At first they think of nothing, just a fooled about to be crushed to death, then the realisation that if that door does not shut they are doomed
You should do one about Phan Đình Giót, a Vietnamese soldier. During the battle of Điện Biên Phủ, his unit was stopped by an enemy stronghold, so he decided to use his whole body to seal the gun that was shooting toward his friends. It worked though it also cost his life for doing so Edit: for those who want more information: During the assult on Him Lam (or Béatrice for French), the Vietnamese vanguard was halted by a number of well-position bunkers. Phan Đình Giót, a soldier of the 58th company, got injured after get pass 2 bunkers, managed to get close to the third by crawling. Without any weapon left, he sacrificed himself by throwing his whole body to seal the arrowslit. The gun got silenced, allowing his comrades to advance foward and finally resulting in the victory in Him Lam/Béatrice for Vietnam (There are other stories as well, but this is the most famous)
@@l.h.9747 dude definitely use google translate lmao. During Dien Bien Phu, when assaulting one of the hills Phan Dinh Giot use his body to cover up one of the machine gun holes, allowing his comrades to assault the hill.

I ain't sure how early plate armor became more prevalent. But around this time most portuguese knights used solely chainmail and an helmet. Maybe some extra plating here and there, but mostly maile. So, was flexible enough to feel the door wedging on his chest and compressing it.
Plus the enemy strikes, ofc.
@@fabiocosta3830 Less a matter of armor than one of leverage. A door that small wouldn't have winches to close it so it's just however much force the guy pulling on the door from the inside can create. Enough to make breathing an uphill task but not enough to crush.
Too be honest he was probably just stuck and didn’t want to be there
