What was the invasion routesof Rome of the Normans andBretons during the MedievalTimes?
For history I am filling out a map and need the routes of the Normans and Bretons. I can't find them anywhere. If you could find a map with the labled routes that would be great.
The Danes invaded England, but you're not interested in that. The Normans sailed up the Seine River and established themselves in what is now called Normandy. Their leader, Rollo, was recognized by a king of the West Franks of that day as duke of Normandy. The Roman Empire no longer existed in medieval times. In 1071, Normans conquered Byzantine territory in the south of Italy and Sicily, but they were coming from the French duchy.

That depended entirely on the wealth of the saxon in question. There were Housecarls (often known as huskarls), theigns, and fiad. Housecarls would have worn a maille hauberk, and would have carried a two handed axe, had a single handed sword, and a kite shield (or sometimes round shield) strapped to their backs. These were the elite troops, and King Harold would have fought alongside men such as these Theigns were the land owners, similar to the Norman Knights and Earls. These men would have had whatever they could afford, but were commanded by law to keep a hauberk or haubergon, along with a sword, and would have often just used these, though some used spears with kite shields The Fiad were the peasentry, these men would have worn regular clothes, sometimes even sacks and the like should they be too poor, and would have fought with farming tools. These men were expected to give a few months military service every year Edit: forgot to mention the Normans ------------------------------ ------------------------- The Norman force was mainly merceneries and volunteers, they would have usually managed to pay for their own maille hauberk or haubergon, and most prefered to fight with spears, as these were cheaper The Normans brought along the French (although the Normans were French, there was a huge political schism at the time) These men would have fought in a range of armour, from maille, to leather (though leather armour was rare at the time, most leather on the battlefield would have been regular clothing) and padded armour. Weapons would have ranged from swords to axes, to spears, and most would have used a round shield or kite shield The elite of the Normans, the Knights, were the only men on horseback on the field, as the Saxons would not have fought on foot, their tactics being derrived from the vikings. These men would have had worn maille hauberks, and would use a sword and kite shield. Some would use spears as lances, but the lance itself had not been used a great amount before. With the exception of the fiad, the majority of these men would have worn nasal helmets, as mentioned in one of the posts before me. Also as one of the posts before me mentions, padded garments were worn underneath maille to protect from the impact of a blow.
