Weapons that Made Britain

Season 1 Episode 3: The Lance

When Norman knights charged Harold's army at Hastings they hurled their spears from horseback. Less than a century later those spears were tucked under knights' arms and had become the ultimate heavy impact weapon: the cavalry charge with lances. It was to change warfare forever as armies had to find a way of stopping the thundering combination of men and horses.
