Are there any recorded accounts of soldiers in metal armor (e.g., knights; Roman legionaries) being struck by lightning? Was it a recognized risk?

A search yielded several threads by folks asking the same or a similar question, but from what I can tell none of them garnered any accepted answers.

I'm not picky about culture or era - I'm just curious if lightning caused problems for people in metal armor (and/or wielding metal weaponry) at any point in history. Bonus points for any insights as to how such incidents were regarded (e.g., was it taken as some sort of omen from the gods?). Thanks in advance!
