Are stirrups assumed in all timelines? I'm thinking introducing them in the GPC at some point and giving a +5 bonus to stay horsed when taking damage in combat...

Stirrups are in common use in GPC

If such a thing was to be introduced, it would be in the reign of Aurelius, when the general idea of heavy armored lancemen was (re)introduced to Britain.

Goodeness, such a thing can only help the Saxons!

Stirrups would have to be assumed if we are considering couched lances common place.
