Hail Caesar Norman Unarmoured Cavalry Command

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.

Charging into battle at the head of their warriors, this 3 man command group includes a musician to sound the charge and set the enemy's boots aquiver to the temp of the thunderous beating of hooves.

Sacrificing armour for added agility, this cavalry unit is mostly suited for flanking or dealing with unprotected artillery or archery units. Even if they are unarmoured, they still have enough protection with their large shields, parrying blows and blocking incoming projectiles. At least for long enough to allow them to put their spears to use.
