Quick question “for their horses fell and they were weighted down by their coats of mail. This armour is the defence of their princes and all the nobility:“ How can we know that “they” refers to the horses and not the riders? I know it sounds silly, as well as picky, but when I present this information to my professor I want to be prepared for any follow up questions. I’ve presented the idea of metal plate cataphracts before to him, but he insisted that it was horse hoof armor (which you also informed me of). Thanks so much for al your help. Being a junior in college it’s hard to find people with such similar interests.
