Fighting

Unlike the Franks and the Goths, the Anglo Saxons did not normally fight on horseback.

Important people wore chain mail in battle, which protected them from swords and axes. It was very expensive so most warriors wore leather. They carried spears, axes, swords, and bows and arrows. They wore helmets and carried shields that were usually made of wood. The most common Anglo-Saxon weapon was a spear, the most feared weapon was a battle-axe, and the most precious was a sword.
