Hail Caesar Norman Unarmoured Infantry B

 

The infantry of the Norman armies during the 1066 conquest was a crucial component of William the Conqueror's force. Composed primarily of foot soldiers, the infantry included a mix of archers, spearmen, and swordsmen. The archers were essential for weakening enemy lines from a distance, while the spearmen formed the bulk of the infantry, providing a formidable defense against cavalry and other foot soldiers. Swordsmen, often better armored, engaged in close combat. The infantry was well-disciplined, trained in tactics that emphasized coordination and the integration of various types of troops to exploit enemy weaknesses. Their effectiveness was notably demonstrated at the Battle of Hastings, where they played a key role in the Norman victory.

Unarmoured infantry was usually used for scouting purposes and acting as a secondary unit to reinforce any front being pressured during battle.
