Sub-Roman Britain (Cavalry etc)

[ArthuroftheBritons]

Ecdicius was Sidonius' brother-in-law! Of course he was being nice, he kind of had to be. So back on topic. What do you educated gentlemen think of my idea or a cavalry arbandand its use in Britain at the time of Ambrosius? Just a recap here's my theory:

After delving back to Ecdicius again I figured that he and his nineteen men were just the "named companions". Now all this is hypothetical so prove me wrong if you must, but wouldn't they have two retainers each? And they would also be noblemen. Now supposing that this is correct you've got sixty men now just from the companions and their bodyguards but if you take into account the fact that each man had four servants and supposing they all had horses that would mean that Ecdicius' personal warband would number, gasp, three hundred men. Now likely only the first sixty men would have had lances and good quality armour but is it possible that all the others had a leather jerkin, a shield, sword, and javelins?

Perhaps we should add bows to the arsenal of the elites and maybe switch the mounted servants with light infantry local levies? Or maybe servants is the wrong word. Um... :? !: I know, pages, or squires! (I appologise for the use of medevial terms but the principal is the same.)
