Lombard Lancers

Lancers are ideal shock troops for charging down the enemy.

Put simply, a lancer is a cavalryman who excels at heavy impact charges. Although up to that point lancers were usually heavily armoured, during the early Middle Ages they straddled the line between light cavalry and their more heavier counterparts. Knights, a more elite class of western horsemen, were also known to use lances. The romantic image of the knight is that of them jousting one another for sport, entertainment and honour. When charging, the lance was generally tucked (or 'couched') under one arm to improve stability, bracing the entire weight against the rider as he crashed into the enemy. The follow-through power of the lance into a battle line was invariably devastating.
