And a cross bow could be fired by a relatively untrained peasant.

When firearms came out in the 1400s armor was quickly out out of style as any bullet could penetrate it.

Once the knight got dismounted all the armor was merely a bulk weight.

the development of the armor roughly follows this path : leather vest, scale armor, chain armor plated armor.

various combinations were used for protecting parts of the body, usually best protection given to the torzo, while the weaker and less expensive types were used for protecting the hands and legs.

It was fairly heavy but not anything worse than what modern soldiers carry, and while modern soldiers carry most of their load on their backs, the medieval armor was evenly distributed over the body. The worst part wasn’t the weight but the heat.

The plate armor didn’t show up until the later stages of the medieval period; in the earlier stages they usually would have worn a full body tunic of chain mail with a solid helmet. The plate armor was expensive so only knights could afford it, but it provided very good protection. One time I saw a tv show where they had a replica iron breastplate, and a guy tried to stab through it with a sword. Basically he had to use both hands and put his entire bodyweight into the thrust just to penetrate a few inches, which shows you how strong it was. However, it would not protect against longbows, crossbows, or guns. This was shown at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, which was a big upset for medieval society because poor English longbowmen were able to completely defeat a force of wealthy upper-class French knights.

Leather hauberk? Chainmail? Full plate?

Obviously plate mail provided the best protection, but could be quite heavy and soldiers can’t march for miles wearing it. That’s why it was more commonly used for ceremonial purposes and guards who didn’t have to move very far (palace sentries)
