Wait, was Payens especially big in history? How big/strong were they recorded to be?

Also, about the "katana piercing euro plate more" thing was a series of tests on armor/stuff R. Lee Ermey did for a tv show, in which the katana showed favorable results. Just so ya know (it's right on youtube and easy to find).
