Historical background
The Goths, an East Germanic people, fought on foot with spear, shield and sword and liked to shelter behind a wagon laager. At Adrianople in AD 378 their infantry withstood the Roman attack until the Gothic cavalry struck the Romans in the flank. In the successor kingdoms of the Visigoths and Ostrogoths infantry stayed important, even as cavalry gained weight.
