These ancient warriors are of Viking heritage- so it’s no surprise that they are as brutal as they come when it comes to the art of war. Their real bread and butter was their ability to fight on horseback. Not only were they incredibly well-equipped, they were masters at fighting and riding. This allowed them to clean up quickly and make a quick getaway. Furthermore, the ancient Normans were some of the originators of using progressive military tactics, often doing things out of the ordinary on purpose in order to confuse their opponents.
