Short description
The Germanic cavalry elite, armed with precursor frameae and swords, and the dread of enemy cavalry.
Description
Towards the end of the first century AD, the personal guard of Germanic leaders would have been drawn from the best warriors of his warband. Earlier Germanic leaders also surrounded themselves with picked warriors, but it is less clear from what pool they were recruited in those times. A plausible guess is that they were drawn from his kinsmen. These men form the elite of early Germanic units. Considering the danger posed by unarmored Germanics, these well-armored ones are force to be reckoned with indeed. Like all Germanic cavalry, they are particularly adept at taking out enemy cavalry.
