Ehh, when they actually wanted to kill eachother they used specialized weapons peasants didn't have. Most the time they just captured eachother for ransom and prestige. They were specialized for the managment and destruction of peasants

They pretty much only wore the armor when killing each other

Depends on the period. There were some armors for that. However for most the periods we care about it was mostly used to fuck up poor people for being sad.
