A weak support still counts as a support.

You're operating on far too many hypotheticals here for your argument to be convincing. We don't know how many Basques there were, but Wikipedia says there was still a "large force." You can't say there were only a few Basques just because it's convenient to your point. And I am not saying it's impossible for David to penetrate the armor. Hell, armor isn't the only factor here. There are also weapons. Roland can probably wreck David's armor with his more modern weapons. Your tactics argument is very weak when tactics literally have to overcome technological disparities of thousands of years, all other things, like army size, being equal.
