The clash of sword on shield

The crunch of broken ribs under the mail vest

… now you’ve just annoyed the Count !

Sir Roger leaps forward to defend his lord

and gets a shield in the face

despite the lilac colours of the Saxons

The line goes forward yet again up Senlac Ridge

The two lines clash, only a foot apart…

…death coming from all around, from the air, the spear, the axe

Arwulf de Lisieux

The Norman spearline

seeking gaps in the Saxon shield-burgh

The boar-snout

Wedge goes forward

Arwulf runs into battle with his hand axe

The final rout of the encircled Saxons

Save some

for me!
