Description

The majority of the army of the kingdom of Francia is made up of Frankish peasants, conscripted to fight the enemies of the kingdom. Some of these form the bodyguard of nobles and minor barons, they own warhorses and can afford equipment such as a chainmail shirt. These soldiers are primarily cavalry and are more prestigious than the average peasants with spears. Carolingian soldiers defeated the Umayyad Caliphate's invasion of Europe. Under King Charlemagne, they conquered the Lombards, the Germans, the Bretons, the Avars, and other minor kingdoms. All Franks are Catholic.

They are often supported by ranged troops such as bowmen. For armor, they wear an iron helmet, a chainmail shirt, and wield a round shield and a spear. Carolingian spearmen become cavalry when mounted on warhorses.
