a good cut and thrust bastard sword- and a curved short sword with a heavy blade- and a good solid club or mace for the stuff that would fuck up the edge on my swords (fantasy books so often forget the nasty stuff that you would'nt want to hit with a blade) finally, I agree with the spear idea- the reach is nice, and it takes no side to side space to use- the best thing to keep em back
definately would want bracers- you get hit on lower arms a whole lot- and greaves, cause legs get hit too- and some brigandine or a coat of plates for the torso- and a light metal helmet - for a shield I'd take a metal buckler about 12" in diameter, with a spike
