Edit: I might have something after all. Edward I was renouned for being able to vault into his saddle in full armour. His armour would have been a heavier weave of mail that covered his body from head to toe. It would have weighed as much as cataphract armour. But he was pretty tall; it would be harder for someone of average height to do the same trick.
