those numbers seem crazy big to me. Louis XIV's enormous French Army only had 120,000 people. Quotes I get for Henry VIII's cavalry divisions are about 50-100. I think the numbers might even be smaller. England invaded France a number of times in the late middle ages with forces hovering around 24,000-30,000. Now, even if it was only 240 cavalry, that's a huge number of the best trained, best armed, most dangerous (not to mention notorious and hated) members of their army. Especially since I think that Ferelden probably lost a large portion of their army at Ostagar.
