Long:Edge Harold:While the throwing axe is a deadly and good armor piercing weapon,stil the hunting bow is better because has more armor piercing power,thanks to his bodkin arrows.Plus add the fact that the bow has more range and is much more accurate weapon.The bow is even used today by hunters,while the throwing axe got lost.

Mid:Edge Roland:For a big surprise I'am siding with the angon,the dane axe might be powerful but is haevy and slow,plus requires two hands to be used,leaving Harold vulnerable to attacks,while the angon might be thrownable,but can be used as a projectile and can kill Harold before he can even gets close.As cherry for the cake the angon is lighter and Roland can stay behind his shield and be protected.

Short:Edge Harold:Both swords look similar,but I give slight advantage for the Anglo-Saxon longsword,his hilt guard is curved and gives a better parriyng and can block attacks,unlike Durendal's hilt guard,which can be broken from heavier hit.Also Harold's sword is made of better materials and is sharper.

Armor:Edge Roland:Again similar armors,but the Hauberk is better because is covering Roland's chest and legs,plus the leather gloves like Cfp mentioned,he can keep firm grip of his weapons,plus the leather jacket is not going to protect Harold from Roland's weapons,and if they had shields,Roland's shield might be better,probably lighter.

Winner:Harold Godwinson:I was rooting for Count Roland but after seeing the weaponry,Harold's weapons are more practical and advanced than Roland's weapons.Roland is though opponet,because of his training and discipline,but his only thing which can help is his angon and armor,and at close and long he is screwed.
