What types of soldiers did Harold godwinson have?

Answer 1

Harold Godwinson had a variety of dark-age soldiers at his disposal, they include:

- Conscript peasant spearmen, mostly farmers given some training in spearfighting and taught the shield-wall and boar's snout formations.

- Archers, these were hunters with bows suited to hunting 'draw weights' (draw weights being comparable to modern daygun calibres) that could cause significant injuries, but were not specialist war weapons like those used by the Norman archers. The Anglo-Saxon archers likely used the same barbed arrows they hunted with.

- Huscarls, respected members of society with some status. Some in the form of sword/axe fighters with shields, trained in close combat (parries, strikes, ripostes, grapples, disarms, takedowns, etc) with chainmail armour and shields. The others in the form or chainmail armoured men wielding great axes, whichwere continually swung around the wielder to cause great havoc and give no space to opponents.
