Tenth century Welsh havey horsemen were armed with swords and javelins, and protected by mail a medium-sized shield, and a helmet. Sounds similar to what we've been theorizing about. Is this a throwback to the fifth century? Was the early medevial cavalry of the Britons like this? Aparrently the favoured tunic colour of the welsh cavalry was red, does that mean anything?
