Protected by brigandine armour, these archers have a horse to ride to battle on, but still fight on foot.
Professional soldiers of the French ordinance reforms, these men are modeled on the English style longbowmen. Their powerful bows give them punch, while their horses give them strategic mobility. They often enter battle dismounted as their bow is much more potent when used on foot. Well armed and armoured by the King.
