Crossbows: Both are the same, but the materials that the weapons were created from is what truly makes the difference in terms of combat. The steel crossbow is made up of what else, but steel the superior crafting material. Steel allows for greater durability and more punishing shots and considering the speed of a crossbow, more damage = better results. EDGE: King Arthur

Mid Range: The Lance is a bad weapon, like a really weapon from ground combat and even then the way its shaped can cause it to break. The Pike, although isn't the best weapon either for small encounters due to its massive length is still better. Point is, weapon meant from ground troop combat beats out horseback combat weapon. EDGE: King Arthur

Swords: Excalibur, being the legendary sword that it is is still going to win out here despite lacking the magical properties. King Arthur has much more experience behind that weapon and he isn't afraid to use it against the inexperienced Horace. Plus, factor in weight and strength, King Arthur has a lot more force behind his attacks and can overpower the young one. EDGE: King Arthur

Special: The Buckler Shield is a nice improvished weapon, but serves better as a defensive tool. Plus, you also have bring to mind that King Arthur has his own shield which has a larger surface area meaning more protection and shield bashing with is going to hurt alot more. The War Hammer is an actual weapon and the sharp end can be used to stab and remove Horace's weapon from battle. EDGE: King Arthur

Deadliest Warrior: King Arthur- He is going to completely dominate Horace in this battle. Throw in the fact that troops are being involved and it makes the victory all the more easier for Arthur due to his experience leading his men into combat. Horace is a better swordsman, but that's about it when it comes to overall advantages as Arthur has faced worse and managed to come out on top. Simply put, young and inexperienced Horace will face judgement at hands of the experienced hero of Britain known as King Arthur.
