IV/27
ESTONIAN 1200 AD - 1227 AD
This list covers Estonian armies from the start of the Northern Crusades until the completion of their subjection by the Germans and Danes in 1227. Estonians were among the fiercest fighters of the heathen of the southern Baltic coast, armed with spear, long sword or axe and several javelins and protected only by probably rectangular shields. Their horsemen always dismounted to fight. Reference: Armies of Feudal Europe 1. Heath
