I would propose adding a french bodyguard unit into the game. Just using "NE Bodyguard" unit as the basis.

Just copy-paste it's entry in edu file. Rename this new unit as French Bodyguard(or what ever you like) and remove france from the NE Bodyguard ownership line.

In LotR it was easy to change this since Byzantine bodyguards were used by one faction alone but here you need to change things a bit more.

EDIT: I think LTC does not change Vanilla M2TW edu entries... So, you'll have to create a unit like this(changes in bold):

type French Bodyguard
dictionary NE_Bodyguard ; General's Bodyguard
category cavalry
class heavy
voice_type General
banner faction main_cavalry
banner holy crusade_cavalry
soldier NE_Bodyguard, 16, 0, 1
mount barded horse
mount_effect elephant -4, camel -4
attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, very_hardy, can_withdraw, general_unit
formation 2, 4.4, 3, 6, 2, square
stat_health 2, 0
stat_pri 13, 8, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, spear, 25, 1
;stat_pri_ex 0, 0, 0
stat_pri_attr no
stat_sec 14, 4, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, sword, 25, 1
;stat_sec_ex 0, 0, 0
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 7, 5, 4, metal
;stat_armour_ex 7, 8, 0, 0, 5, 4, 4, metal
stat_sec_armour 0, 0, flesh
stat_heat 5
stat_ground 0, -2, -4, 0
stat_mental 11, normal, trained
stat_charge_dist 45
stat_fire_delay 0
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 1, 1, 1, 120, 95, 820, 1, 200
armour_ug_levels 3, 4
armour_ug_models NE_Bodyguard, NE_Bodyguard_ug1
ownership france
era 0 france
era 1 france
;unit_info 13, 0, 32

And in export_descr_buildings.txt you have to add this new unit just like TC suggested above.
Also, don't forget to chance starting general units in descr_strat.txt file!

New unit is necessary because(as someone explained it before IIRC) otherwise AI factions can use these changes as well.
