Jagiellon help us to better understand the controversy regarding the so called convoy and wedge-like cavalry formations. The second part of the article deals with the role of cavalry in an open field battle. The work includes a scheme (or visual interpretation) of an ideal battle formation of a Jagiellon monarch troops.
