the conquest of sicily was amazing

with like 600 knights

they took out thousands of moors

obviously the 50k figure is inflated

but they were still outnumbered by a huge margin

easily ten to one in real life

yeah

the normans were such nutty geezers

i doubt it was 50 to 1

but ten to one holy shit

yeah there's a great documentary i watched on them recently

they were the most effective cavalry in the world at that time

brave as fuck

and their patron saint was a warrior
