Strelets-R 0012 1/72 Norman Cavalry
Normans – a three by three formation, where the Norman cavalry was kept at the center and non-Norman units on the flanks. At Hastings and Dyrrachium this Norman cavalry center made a charge early on in the battle, but in both cases these attacks failed to dislodge the Anglo-Saxon housecarls or the Byzantine’s Varangian Guard. Theotokis notes that “heavy cavalry units could make no impression upon well-equipped and disciplined foot soldiers who kept their formation unbroken.”
