NM-24B – Norman Spearman The Battle of Hastings developed into a long and exhausting engagement, lasting for much of the day as Norman forces repeatedly attacked the Anglo-Saxon position. Infantrymen armed with spears were among the warriors involved in this fierce struggle. NM-24B – Norman Spearman represents one of these Norman foot soldiers, equipped for the dangerous task of closing with Harold’s heavily defended battle line. Protected by his shield and armed with his spear, he embodies the practical equipment and fighting style of the medieval infantryman. Combine him with other Norman spearmen, swordsmen, archers and mounted knights to create a much broader representation of William’s invasion force. Available from The Military Workshop – bringing one of the defining battles of medieval history to life through the superb John Jenkins Age of Arthur collection.
