Ok, so I'm a day late with this - sorry!
Attached is a Battle Character Sheet for you to use (if you can't see the attachement, you can also download it from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6694132/Battle%20Sheet.pdf - right click and save as...). This cuts out the stuff that you don't really need to keep it simple. You're all Cymric knights and so have Spear Expertise instead of separate Lance and Spear scores (form Book of Knights and Ladies)
Create your character using this quick method (used something similar at Continuum):
1) Choose a name for your character. You're all knights, so Sir is applicable!
2) Leave Lord blank for now
3) Armour: roll 1d6 to randomly assign. 1-3=chainmail+shield (12+6 armour), 4-6=partial plate+shield (14+6 armour)
4) CON / STR / SIZ = 2d6+6 (min. of 12)
5) Work out derived stats
6) Skills: your skills are all 14 + 1d6, make one 20
7) Horse: roll to determine randomly. 1-3=Charger (6d6 damage), 4-5=Andalusian (7d6 damage), 6=Destrier (8d6 damage)
8 ) Passions: 2d6+6 (min 12) for each. We'll assign a Lord name later for your loyalty Lord (top one) and a specific unit type for your final hate passion later (bottom one)
You have a sword, 5 spears (you have one, your squires the rest).
Your spare horse is one below your current - ie. if you have a Destrier, your squire can bring you an Andalusian. If you have a Charger, your spare is a Courser (5d6)
The Battle is set in the Romance Period, and is a clash between local lords and rebel Saxons from the Fens and Anglia assisted by others.
Shout if any of that doesn't make sense. It should create reasonably competent characters without the time normally used to create whole characters from scratch.
