Niwjaz Herunoudozez

(Late Germanic Elite Swordsmen)

The late Herunoudozez are much better equipped compared to their predecessors. Their oval, rectangular or hexagonal shields are reinforced with a metal shield rim. Finally, some of these warriors have Celtic or Roman mail-shirts and helmets acquired by trade, or less peaceful means. If necessary, it is expected that these men will give their lives for their leader. To leave a battlefield when their chief has fallen is the greatest dishonour for a Herunoudaz.

Whereas German tribes often fought in a more ordered, organised manner than the Celts, they sometimes adopted their neighbours’ weapons and equipment, either through battle or trade. Celtic armour found its way onto the backs of privileged German warriors, while double-edged longswords were another example of creeping Celtic influence. An iron sword was a prestigious possession, so those who carried them were either of noble blood or were veteran followers. By following a noble, warriors were duty-bound to show dedication and valour. If he fell in combat, the noble’s men were expected to fight to the death. Anyone who survived such a battle was disgraced. Some hanged themselves, unable to live with the shame and dishonour of outliving their battle-lord.
