Carrot of Truth
War is Peace
I'd argue that a rider armed with a bow, a backup bow, a backup backup bow, a long-spear for charging, a short-spear for post-charge melee, and an axe for close-in, cannot be described as anything but "exceedingly well armed".
Really wasn't a "spear" but an actual proper lance, I have read about the short "spears" but I have doubts about those being a thing since a short spear would be next to useless especially on horseback.
