Hail Caesar Norman Mounted Knights Command

Norman mounted knights were a formidable and highly influential military force during the 11th and 12th centuries. These heavily armored cavalrymen played a pivotal role in the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, exemplified by their decisive impact at the Battle of Hastings. Norman knights were equipped with chainmail hauberks, conical helmets, kite-shaped shields, and wielded lances for powerful charges, along with swords for close combat. 

Their effectiveness stemmed from their combination of mobility, heavy armor, and disciplined use of tactics such as the feigned retreat, which could lure enemies into vulnerable positions. The mounted knight's ability to deliver a powerful, coordinated charge often broke enemy lines, leading to swift victories. The success and tactics of Norman mounted knights influenced European cavalry practices for centuries, contributing to the evolution of medieval warfare and the spread of feudalism across Europe.

Charging into battle at the head of their knights, this 3 man command group includes a musician to sound the charge and strike fear into the enemy as they lead their knights into glorious victories.

Clad in chainmail, vigorous and hardy, the Norman mounted knights charge their foes with valour. Always ready to fight, the Norman knights raise their spears and swords and march for war.
