MD 33's Vote: "You're Killed in the Battlefield? ME TOO!"

Close Range: Durendal vs Longsword

Both of these weapons are similar, but the Durendal was said to possess "divine properties". I don't know what the properties are, but like what the others say, due to the Longsword's crossbar, he'll be able to parry Count Roland's attacks much easier. So, the edge goes to Harold Godwinson for me. Hey, who knows about the Durendal's divine properties? What can it do? Be as strong as Thor's Uru Hammer or Wolverine's whole Adamantium skeleton? Lol. Still, I voted Harold due to his sword's more efficient crossbar.

Mid Range: Dane Axe vs Angon

Hmm... The Angon is a longer weapon that can be thrown, based on the Pilum, while the Dane Axe is a heavier weapon with a shorter shaft, but more devastating. I'm gonna give my vote to '''Harold's Dane Axe. '''As mentioned above, the Angon's shaft bends on impact, and it is a "wasteful" weapon. It's a thrown weapon. Hey, sure it gives him a range advantage, but as soon as he loses his Angon, the Dane Axe will tear him apart. I know that it's heavier, but power? It's too much for Count Roland to handle.

Long Range: Fransisca vs Hunting Bow

No contest, the Hunting Bow takes this. The Fransisca is just, too inefficient, even it's a throwing weapon. It might can be used as an improvised melee weapon, but it'll do no good either against Harold's other weapons. It has more chances to miss, while the hunting bow's a true ranged weapon. It also got a longer range. So, Harold takes this.

Armor: Byrnie vs Hauberk

I'll go with the Hauberk. Roland's leather gloves can be used to keep a firm grip on his weapon, so he'll get either an accuracy or "damage" bonus (sort of. Not talking about some kind of game here though). Both armors are composed of mail shirts. Oh, and the Byrnie doesn't cover all of Godwinson's body, leaving him vulnernable to Roland's attacks, if he ever wanted to strike parts Harold "doesn't want".

X-Factors

'''Harold Godwinson: 69. 5'''

'''Count Roland: 60. 5'''

Edge: Harold Godwinson.

WINNER: HAROLD GODWINSON

Aaaaanndddd.... the guy who eventually got killed by an arrow in the eye wins this battle. Surely, Roland is more discipline and trained, but Harold's tactics and experience will lead him to victory. Not just that, Harold's weapons are much better than Roland's weapons, and it clearly, Harold got the grip of victory here. I can't say a lot of things around here. Overall, Harold wins because of his superior weapons.
