(It also makes it easier to carry the armour, as the weight is more spread out.

Late medieval and renaissance armies consisted mostly out of soldiers in full plate. Like Ranulf, they are well-trained in the use of plate armour, unlike historical reenactors, who wear armour like twice a year. It's not even about "benching" (which is a pretty arbitrary measurement at any rate), it's about a degree of stamina.)
