Hail Caesar Norman Unarmoured Cavalry A

Norman cavalry, renowned for their effectiveness, played a crucial role in medieval warfare, particularly during the 11th and 12th centuries. These heavily armored horsemen were equipped with chainmail hauberks, conical helmets, and kite-shaped shields, and they wielded lances for powerful charges, as well as swords for close combat. The Norman cavalry's prowess was notably demonstrated at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, where they played a decisive role in William the Conqueror's victory over the Anglo-Saxons. Their tactics, which included coordinated charges and feigned retreats, were advanced for their time and significantly influenced European cavalry practices. The Norman cavalry's skill, discipline, and strategic use of horses made them a dominant military force during their era.

Sacrificing armour for added agility, this cavalry unit is mostly suited for flanking or dealing with unprotected artillery or archery units.
