Warlord's Power
"The land from here to the sea shall be yours... if you enforce the King's will."Many nobles began as friends and battle companions of the king, but as time passed and kingdoms grew large, they became the rulers of the land they held in trust for their lord. Gifted land and titles for continued service, they were expected to manage the king's provinces and summon men to war when needed. During the Saxon Wars of AD772-804, the Saxon king Widukind, in his attempt to defeat Charlemagne and frustrate his desire to convert the Saxons to Christianity, was able to incense his nobles to stand behind him against this fiercely Christian threat from the west. Alongside an alliance with the Frisians, Widukind granted many of his warriors autonomous control of their regions in order to incentivise them to drive back the Carolingians.
