::Each horseman is to carry shield and spear, long-sword and short-sword, bow, quivers and arrows, and your carts are to contain implements of various kinds” [King 2007]

* Beowulf – Written c.1000 [Garnet 1912]

::“The prince of the Geats

::With, his arrowed bow deprived one of life,

::Of strife with the sea, so that stood in his vitals

::The hard war-arrow : he was in the holm”

::“Who from arrowed bow spitefully shoots.

::Then is he in his breast pierced under his helmet

::With a sharp arrow : he cannot defend him”

::“Or grip of the sword, or flight of the arrow.”

::“Since him did Haethcyn from his horned bow,

::His own dear lord, with arrow pierce,

::Missed he the mark and his kinsman did shoot,”

::“Him who oft awaited the iron-shower,

::When the storm of arrows, loosed from the strings,

::“and lo ! this same thorn, as an arrow speeds from the bow, so did it fly from the man, and go to a distance;”
