Powerful English infantry, working to protect the mighty longbowmen will win many a battle however, the English will have to overcome the fact that their cavalry does not offer the same variety and power as some rival factions. Early English forces consist of levy spearmen and spear militia, reinforced by Mailed Knights and Hobilar cavalry units. Early expansion is best achieved by conquering the nearby rebel towns, York being an ideal first target. The Scots to the north and the French to the south represent the only immediate threat. Campaign Strategy The English begin with three provinces under their control with castles at Nottingham and Caen and the capital city at London. The French Royal forces are more than a match for the armies in Normandy, but they also have enough fronts to deal with right now that they are unlikely to be able to drive them from the continent anytime soon. The Scots to the north are isolated from the rest of Europe, and should be easy to wear down without a strong ally from the mainland. Though they presently face trouble on multiple fronts, the English are in a rather promising position. The ever stubborn Scottish also prevent the King of England from having uncontested control of the British Isles.

The English court may now speak French, but the Normans certainly don't consider their new conquest a French territory. England's new masters have a more modern approach to the art of warfare, and the will to utilise the country's rich resources to maximum effect. Most importantly, William the Conqueror came with the support of the Pope, as well as a mixed force of well-trained infantry, archers and heavy cavalry. However, the new rulers of England have swiftly replaced and improved the taxation system so as to replenish their coffers in quick time.

The English Having recently wrestled control of England from the Saxons, many would expect the conquering Normans to be somewhat spent and weakened.
