Westphalia (Age of Charlemagne) Melee Cavalry

Hearth Cavalry

The Saxon hearth companion was similar in many ways to the thegns of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. As a personal friend of the king, he protected his lord on the battlefield, and in return the king bestowed gifts, titles, lands and power. The very name 'hearth' friend or companion implies closeness to the king, eating and sharing his company around the fire, through which great bonds of friendship and loyalty were made. When not at war, hearth companions were the closest thing to a local police force - enforcing the king's will and administering justice within the provinces they governed on his behalf.
