The Normans were descended from Vikings allowed to settle in northern France, who quickly absorbed the culture of their French hosts, including the idea of mounted knights in armour. This was a formidable weapon in itself if used correctly (and the Normans soon became better at it than the French). A knight's main weapon was his spear (not lance at this time), about 13 feet long, with a sword, mace or small axe as secondary armament.
Serjanz were none-noble soldiers who provided the infantry, as well as some less well-equipped cavalry. Their weapons ranged from slings (not sligshots), bows and crossbows to spears (about 7 feet long) and a smaller number of other pole-arms: the glaive, fauchard and voulge.
All of these weapons were brought to England by the Normans and were used effectively through the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries, when other weapons (particularly pole-arms) were developed. Massed Archery gradually became more effective than a close-packed charge of mounted knights and the bow became the weapon that decided the outcome of a battle.
