Commoners of Bretonnia

Bretonnian troops raised from among the peasants are known as commoners. This distinguishes them from the Knights who belong to the nobility. Your Bretonnian army can include up to 50% of its total points as regiments of Commoners. Commoners are Mounted Squires, Squires, Men-at-arms or Bowmen. Commoners are not bound by the code of chivalry and so are not barred by honor from using the longbow. Each regiment must consist of at least five models in total including any standard bearer, musician or Champion where present.

Mounted Squires...............................10 points

Your Army may include as many Regiments of mounted Squires as there are regiments of Knights. These are retainers of the Knights, chosen from among the peasants of their domains. Squires look after the Knights warhorses and guard his lands, pursing brigades and keeping watch for intruders. Mounted Squires accompany the dukes and barons as outriders when out hunting and as light cavalry in battle.
