The average knight in medieval times was five feet two. WTF.

@AGiantPie You're right but in periods where that data was recorded its possible to use records instead, and then convert them. Trouble is many people use the unconverted data. For example the myth that Napolean was short was partially due to people using French inches; he was 5 foot 7 in modern terms which was tall for the time (5 foot 5 was the average).
