By George Wappett Harold Godwinson had 500 Housecarls armoured with helmets and mail hauberkswho were professional and highly trained horsemen who wielded the great Danish axes. The remainder of his army was equipped with spears, swords, slings, and maces. In defense emergencies peasants were called upon to fight as infantry, not as well armed. The main defensive formation was a shield wall.
