How deep does the infantry line have to be in order to resist a charge of 15th century knights (cca 1450 - 1480)? 10th century Byzantine infantry deployed typically 7 ranks deep (2 or 3 rows of spearmen, 3 rows of bowmen, and then 1 or 2 rows of spearmen on the inside), but kataphraktoi used on the Eastern front at the time were very different from 15th century Western European heavy cavalry.
