If, however you shove your arm down it’s throat to the shoulder, your pauldrons might give you some protection, and the arm and hand can now choke the lion from the inside. It’s gonna try to claw you back out, but hopefully it doesn’t gain a purchase, and then the fight is over in less than 5 minutes.
This is actually what I’ve heard suggested, without the armor, to survive a Jaguar attack in South America

Your arm would be destroyed from the bites, armored or not.
You might survive, but your arm wouldn’t and you’d need medical attention to prevent death from blood loss or crush syndrome.
Yeah, I assume the arm is sacrificial. Hopefully the knight has tourniquets
A lion is 2-3 times as large as a Jaguar though. There is a good chance they just tear your arm off at the shoulder and run off with it.
