@Swordsbane- While I argee with you on hammer, lance and (if the cavalryman was stupid enough to run himself onto it at full speed) pikes, a crossbow would have to be very powerful and at close range. Also, a suit of plate weighed about 100 pounds- a little more than most mililaries carry in gear nowadays. The armour would be spread out around your whole body, while gear is just on your back. Sure, you won't be able to turn backflips, but a strong man could get around fairly well.
