i think there is a scenario

medieval zombie apocalypse

if there is a time in history that will best equipped to deal with it is The Manor System.

as the horde slowly walks towards the agricultural estate, they start to prepare like it's a siege. bring in the harvest early, call in your man at arms maybe some near by mercenaries.

the gates are shut as the horde swarms the walls, it is now a siege. the peasants are worried about there homes, the local Friar is doing his best to calm the people, the few men at arms try to sally out but get ripped apart.

when all hope is lost an army is seen on the horizon ... it's your lord the duke with his knights and some Knights Hospitaller. they come charging down the hill. the earth is shaking and hoof beats like thunder as they plough through the horde like a ship through water.

the siege is over, they tell you the emperor is rallying every noble in the empire to fight this undead army and the one who started it

I've had an idea along these lines for a while now, but with Viking mercenaries instead of knights. It was going to have some parallels with Ragnarok. Unfortunately I have no talent at writing, so it's just an idea floating in my head.
