NM-23A – Norman Spearman The Norman army that invaded England was a well-balanced fighting force consisting of archers, infantry and cavalry. While the mounted knights could deliver powerful attacks, Norman foot soldiers were essential for maintaining pressure on the enemy and supporting the different elements of the army. NM-23A – Norman Spearman portrays one of these warriors advancing with spear and shield, ready to close with the Anglo-Saxon defenders. His equipment reflects the practical fighting style of an 11th-century infantryman, where the spear offered both reach and versatility on the battlefield. Displayed alongside fellow spearmen, swordsmen and Norman archers, this figure helps recreate the determined advance towards the Anglo-Saxon shield wall at Hastings. Available from The Military Workshop – a superb addition for collectors building the Norman army of 1066.
