My head hurts, I think I am going to have a sit down.
Yes, the general unit is called "Paladin Bodyguards" but there is also a seperate cavalry unit called just plain "Paladins". They are not a general unit and can be trained in two turns once you get the Monastery, or whatever the second level of the hermitage is called. They are better than Noble Warriors.
