There are several sources for Wallachian cavalry, but the armoured types all seem to be portrayed without bows. They're fine as Moldavian knights, but the Wallachian boyars, armoured, light spear, bow* thus present a bit of a problem. Any ideas? Maybe the Oddzial Lithuanians?

Perhaps the bows are carrried by the lesser seargents or other retainers who followed their lords into battle and not actually used by the knights themselves. Just a thought.

How about Russians? Essex makes armored cavalry with lance, lance & bow, or just bow.

That is what I used. Essex post mongol russians half with lance and half with bow (all have a bow).

Essex has now a Wallachian range : http://www.essexminiatures.co.uk/news.html#emeds
but no pics for the heavy cavalry.
