@Dark Paladin X The late medieval English were known for their Longbowmen & Dismounted Knights. Early on in the Middle Ages, English knights fought exclusively on horseback just like their French rivals. But after the Welsh displayed the power of their Warbows & the Scots the strength of their Schiltron formation; the English decided to empahise on Archers, and dismount their knights in most battles to serve as heavy infantry. It served them really well in France.

I honestly think that the Britons should have two unique units in AOE2: the Longbowman, and the Dismounted Knight. The Dismounted Knight would be basically a less armoured and less powerful Teutonic Knight, but with more mobility. They can be mixed with Halberdiers to create a stout protective wall to defend English Longbowmen & Siege Units from both enemy cavalry & infantry.
