Mormaer Cavalry

All the king's horses and all the king's men will cut you into little pieces.

Regional lords of the Scoti, the title ‘Mormaer’ was awarded to those individuals positioned directly beneath the king within the structure of Highland society. Although the subject of some debate, the word is thought to mean either ‘chieftain’, ‘Lord of the Seas’ or ‘Great Steward’. Whatever its etymology, Mormaer were specifically concerned with the defence of the Scottish coast from Nordic raids that started to occur after the Picts had been supplanted as the largest tribal group in the north of Britannia. As the centuries passed and the Dark Ages gave way to the Medieval era the word Mormaer became interchangeable with the more commonly-known ‘Thane’. Like most other nobles of the period, they fought as cavalry on the battlefield.
