Sclavenians Spear Infantry

Chosen Shields

Warrior societies in antiquity were, predictably, based very much on strength - the strongest man would become the leader, and only through remaining strong would he retain that position. Those around him, envious of his strength and desirous of his power, would work to undermine him whenever they saw the opportunity arise. To this end, the closest and most trusted and loyal of the chieftain's friends and companions acted as his bodyguards, fighting with him in battle and sharing in his victories and defeats. As the Middles Ages dawned, the dedication of these men to their kings was rewarded with titles, lands and power - such was the case with the thegns and huscarls of the later Saxon and Lombard kingdoms.
