Excerpt from Historical Records of the British Army: Comprising the History of Every Regiment The weapons carried by the infantry, during the several reigns succeeding the Conquest, were bows and arrows, lialf-pikes, lances, halberds, various kinds of battle-axes, swords, and daggers. Armour was worn on the head and body, and in course of time the practice became general for military men to be so completely cased in steel, that it was almost impossible to slay them.
