Sorry I must have hada  typo. I meant two votes (the other one was a weak support so I thought it wouldn't count as one). And yes, far as I can remember, there was a need for an admin to support the rebuttal besides the two supporters.

And no. There were no accounts of how many Basque soldiers the Frankish rearguard fought, though I dubt that a poor group of irregulars like the Basque would be able to summon "thousands" to a small skirmish.

The Basque maybe in the same time period but they were not in the same quality as Roland and David. THey had no armor, only a few metal weapons, and some pointed woodens spears and javelins. THey manage to bypass ROland's armor because of their tactics, which led them to victory. Armor is still armor, and David will be smart enough to hit unarmored parts with their bows and spears, because frankly "bypassing any forms of armor" is not a Medieval invention. A thin layer of chainmail is still weak when compared to scale armor.
