The Rest Is History
522. Warlords of the West: A Clash of Ice and Fire (Part 3)
Tom Holland
If they are faced by archers, as the Romans had done, they're able to kind of form a testudo, a tortoise. So you put the shields up and over your heads and the arrows just kind of bounce off your shields. And they fight so closely together that there's a Frankish report of a battle that was fought a century before the Battle of Tours.
