    They're Viking campaign units you can only get them as rebels in the full campaign in Mercia I think,I always use the Germans and i've never got any Saxon huscarles but if you take any of the scandanavian (sp?) province's in the early period you can build Viking huscarles as well as the other Viking units from the VI campaign.Hope that helps

    They can appear as rebel units in Early/High/Late. If you bribe them, they will join you and you can use them. So most likely the HRE bribed them into their army.

    and beware that saxon huscarles are POWERFUL, what peroid are u playing. if in late, you can easliy crush them with JHI. but if you are in early, bring the most powerful infantry you can find.

    IIRC Viking Huscarls, Carls, Landsmenn and even Thralls(??) are available in regular campaign, early, only in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. If you start in the neighborhood it may be worth marching north to build them.

    try to pin them down with high defense infantry,support with archery, and flank and hit behind with high power cavalry, once you mater this tatic, you can crush any kind of infantry
