Sex in a suit of armour.......

did just the man have a suit of armour? did he keep his helmet on? what about the falcon on his gauntlet, did it sit there throughout?. perhaps they had one of those little lifting cranes and the odd varlet and a couple knaves would hoist him on and off his mount. he would go, Ho Varlet!Hence have I come! Hoist me back into the saddle, replace my appendage into its codpiece! and try not to bend it double this time.....

Mind you it explains a lot. That's how they knew it was the Black Knight - it wasn't just that stupid bloody feather sticking out of his head.
