Do any of you perhaps know what the carrying capacity of a wagon is? I have looked at both the Legend and Arms and Armour rule books but must be missing it.

Thanks in advance!

One horse/Two horse/Four horse/two wheel/four wheel?

Joking aside, I'd say whatever is reasonable.

Using the descriptive text on pages 90-94 of Arms of Legend gives some rough details to allow you to make a good estimation.

I was thinking a four-wheeled wagon, perhaps drawn by oxen, or horses for that matter, but either is fine.

Arms gives you a choice of:
Armoured Carriage - 3-4 inside with baggage, driver outside.
Covered carriage - 2 benches so probably 4-6 inside plus driver.
Noble Carriage - no numbers given but probably close to the 3-4 of the armoured version.
Large cart - 'several' passengers or heavy loads.
Ox cart - 'a decent amount of weight and a passenger or two'.

What exactly do you want to carry?

Just creating a wagon train for an adventure. The adventurers are part of a contingent of guards escorting the merchant train to a smaller town. The goods are to be shipped to warmer, wealthier climes in the south of my game world.

Players being what they are, I figured an overall idea of how much a wagon can carry would help me prepare what the entire shipment could potentially contain, in case they snoop ...

According to Wikipedia, the average Conestoga wagon was 18 feet long,
11 feet high and 4 feet wide and could carry up to 12,000 pounds of car-
go. I think this would be the upper limit for a medieval vehicle, too.

Depends on the era. As rust mentioned the Conestoga wagon from the 18-19th centuries had a high weight capacity but required a large team of 6 to 8 draft animals and was not very maneuverable. According to the Theodosian Code Roman four-wheeled wagons had a weight limit of 1,500 roman pounds (about 1050lbs). The 12th century variety had a maximum load of 600 kilograms but only required 2 draft animals according to Logistics of Warfare in the Age of the Crusades, ed. J.H. Pryor, 2006. .
