| The foot soldiers of the middle ages who fought in the battles of Agincourt, Poitiers, etc. were raised by the nobility from the serfs and peasants on their lands. Their ranks were stiffened by a few hired companies of trained archers or crossbowmen, who, like the landsknechts, were loyal only to their captains, and contracted to fight for booty pay. Never uniformed, these levies usually wore pieces of armor looted from the battlefield over their ordinary clothes, although some obsolete armor and weapons were issued from the noble's armory. The footmen in the retinue of a nobleman would wear his coat of arms on a small shield on their jerkin. Rules of combat forbade villains from fighting with a knight once the noble had been unhorsed. |
| Twelve figures representing archers, pikemen, crossbowmen, axemen, swordsmen and cannoniers are available. A coloring guide is included with each kit. |
