Freemen Training

All must play their parts, down to the very last man.

The freemen of Charlemagne's kingdom were called to war in two ways. One was the 'lantweri', a general call to arms that was critical; failure to meet this summons could result in the death penalty. The second was as part of the king’s 'bannum' and, whilst not as important as the lantweri, still carried a heavy fine for non-compliance. Responsibility for training and equipping the summoned freemen fell to local leaders, called 'leudes', who also decided who should remain behind to work the land so there was something to come back to. Most men knew the basics of combat, as hunting was a daily occurrence, but not all training was of the same standard. Basic training involved practice against a straw dummy, as well as splitting into groups and sparring with one another. Whilst rudimentary, the hope was it might make them useful or, at least, live longer on the battlefield.
