I guess I always thought with the armor of the knights of old was that they were so highly polished that they would blind any opponent but if these vivid colors are an example of what the normal knight wore then the blinding of the opponent with color worked equally well.
I would imagine that once the formal nature of the knight paying homage to his lord that a lot of these colorful garments would be removed to allow for battle.
Clear, sharp image full of detailing with the contrast between that of the knight and the muted background helping to give a 3D feel to the composition.

Hmmm seems like it wasn't what you expected then .. large crowds / too far away / to much to see / GRUMPY OLD MAN syndrome I fear 
Well exposed ... I am wondering what the long thin piece of string is for ..?

nice colours in the uniform and lots of detail I like the fish scale like plate on the back of his gloves and the beard showing through the chain mail on his helmet Mick is the string to keep him from losing his gloves when he takes them off you know like we did with our kids when they were tiny!
Best regards
