It would be even better had someone went with a Maniot(From a Greek Location of Mani) in place of an Ancient Spartan here.

In any case, Shield-wise is closer, and most of the X-Factors listed shouldn't be disregarded, either.

Depending on if the Teutonic Crossbow in question is Single-shot or not, it'd likely boil down to The Spartan's more Ruthless Training against the Teutonic Knight's mostly superior Gear(Aside from the Shield or the second Short-range weapon.) in fact, overall this fight's closer than first glances suggest.

If the Spartan can either gut the Teuton with the Short-Range Weapons, Toss or Stab the Teuton with a Spear and get either one to punch through the Armor the minute it hits, or dish out so much as Enough Concussive Force with the Shield against Teuton Armor, the Spartan can win.

Otherwise if the Teuton's Armor is Concussion-Proof and if the Crossbow that Knight's carrying is Rapid-Fire rather than the 'Single-Shot' that's commonplace in Medieval Times, it's possible for the Teuton to outlast him.

My take on it with what's noted so far.
