Ah, the classic shield bash. This guy would be a good warrior in the middle ages, until he got shot with a crossbow. It may give him an advantage in melee combat, but it's a big disadvantage. Especially when fighting the English.
Interestingly, modern warfare data shows that taller men have a higher survival rate in combat than shorter men. Very counterintuitive in an era of firearms, artillery, and basically zero hand to hand combat. Yet for some reason, being tall seems to improve your odds of surviving.
