		However I am not sure it is true for 1600 and earlier battles, first of all because the records for those times are much less reliable, and even when they stand they usually record soldiers fit for service, so that we have no idea of the real casualties, how much were killed, wounded or missing.

		In the battle of Bouvines (1215) the French cavalry was deployed en haye, a single line just 1 rank deep, as it did for the most part of medieval times,in 1590, despite arrying fire weapons (pistols) the French (Huguenote) cavalry at Ivry (1590) was massed in formations 6 ranks deep.
