guns don't predate plate armor, they just predate plate armor's widespread use, which in turn predate the widespread use of firearms. the semantical narrowing of what "plate armor" is ignores lots of early examples both found in the east and west as far back as the bronze age.

guns were also not used whatsoever throughout the middle ages. they started to appear towards the very end of them, and didn't see significant use until perhaps the last century. gunpowder hadn't even been invented for more than the first half of the middle ages, let alone made it's way to europe.

I'm just nitpicking the accuracy of your statement, though, I don't care what writers do. basing something off of the hundred years war without including gunpowder would be a little strange but it is fiction after all.
