Rascals form peasant mobs in Bretonnia. [1]
Peasant Mobs are the lowliest units in a Bretonnian army. The life of a Bretonnian peasant is thankless, impoverished and - if the gods are merciful - short. Yet it is their duty to labour for, pay tribute to, and die in service of their Liege. Yet although a life spent toiling the land for pitiful gain is a damnable existence, it pales next to a day upon the battlefield. And indeed, should a Duke ride to war, he will surely drag his droves of human chattel along with him.
These hapless wanderers are then assuredly butchered in their multitudes as fodder to their Lord's worthy cause. To make their numbers count, peasants are ordered into huddled units on the battlefield, which makes up for their lack of training and skill. Like the more elite Men-At-Arms, Peasant Mobs are not very reliable if left to their own devices, but under the stern gaze of a Knight can aspire to adequate, though not exceptional, deeds.
They are often herded into battle, fulfilling their feudal obligations.[1a] Sadly they have little training, experience or equipment. [2]

Quotes
| The desire for errantry beats in the heart of every noble Bretonnian but not the peasants, you understand? We feel it in every motion, in every step, in every breath. But the peasants, of course, do not. Obviously.
~ Grégoire du Haut Chateau, Nobleman.[3] |
