Levy Skirmishers

Skirmishers perform a useful tactical function. Sometimes that function is merely to distract the enemy.

Levies could be quickly mustered, outfitted and turned into an army whether citizens or subjects. Usually commanded by nobles or local dignitaries, levies supplemented the elite professional soldiers; the king would order his subordinates to muster troops and gather at an appointed time and place. These noblemen brought their households, attendant warriors, and levies. Over time there was a gradual move away from citizen and subject recruits to professional standing armies and greater use of mercenaries. Both classes were formerly levies who saw warfare as a career rather than a duty. In turn, this opened the way for promotion on merit rather than birth, creating armies loyal to generals rather than the old social order.
