In regards to if a 'simple' shield bash would really kill a fully armed warrior in plate: the unfortunate answer in the real world is "Yes."

A simple hammer taken forcefully to a full metal helmet as portrayed would likely knock the wearer out and possibly even kill him outright. Historically, armor was useful versus immediately fatal wounds... but did horribly versus impact trauma due to lack of effective padding. Easy test... take a plastic toy bat and take a hit with a football helmet on. Will it kill you, no... but you can still be knocked silly with a plastic 'toy' bat.
