|
The Saxon column… |
…marches on |
Nun sequitor |
Norman cavalry |
seen from the Saxon lines |
|
|
The Knights’ squires |
The knights circle the Saxons |
to pick off any loners |
but the line holds |
|
The Norman infantry arrive |
and form line |
while the cavalry retires. |
The lines stare at each other |
Bishop Odo comes to parley |
|
With the Saxon commander |
The cavalry get fresh javelins |
As the parley breaks down. |
The lines clash |
and spread out |
