A Bretonnian Lord armed with a lance and shield.[1]

The Kingdom of Bretonnia is divided into fourteen great Dukedoms. Each of the powerful Dukes commands an army of Knights, supported by the squires, Men-at-Arms and archers drawn from the ranks of the commoners. Every bit as skilled as a Knight of the Realm, some are also mighty Grail Knights, or former Paladins, such as Duke Bohemond Beastslayer and the historical Repanse de Lyonesse. Whatever their knightly caste, they are essentially even deadlier and better equipped than their other comrades, a perk of being the highest of nobility.

Unlike the lords of other armies, Bretonnian Lords have to be on horseback as it is unseemly for the leader of an army to be down with the lower classes they will often lead groups of knights into combat, or provide tactical support.
