Man-at-Arm

Men-at-arms are the common footsoldiers of Bretonnia.

They are recruited from the finest peasants in the particular noble's domain to patrol his lands and protect his castle, especially when his absent .[2a][3a]

The best of the men-at-arms may become Bretonnian Squires. [2a]

Heraldry

Although not entitled to their own heraldry they wear the colours of their knight, lord, baron or Duke. Often only one or two of the colours are used alonside a badge or motto. [2a]

Warfare

Because they hardly receive any training, they are considered substandard troops, inferior to the Empire State Troops and barely above Goblins. They know this and are unwilling to fight, the presence of their lord often the only factor keeping them in combat, rather than fleeing back from where they came from. Not that any nobles would care, though: they never had any big plans for them in the first place.[1]

Men-at-arms are not bound by honour to fight in hand-to-hand combat and may kill goblins and other invaders as they would vermin in the fields. [2a]

Weapons and Equipment

When recruited, they are uniformed, armed and equipped by their knightly lord. [2a]
