Huskarls were the close men the bodyguards of an Saxon or Viking chief. They were professional soldiers who didnt farm but were supported by their lord.Im not bying that they were uniformed.They were the strongmen of their people and i think used the weapon that suited them best personally.If you have to jump in the shoes of an Huskarl you should think yourself as an hired hand, but wery admired one.You would go where your lord tells you and protecting him wouild be your primary objective always.And yes Edyz varangians were Huskarls also after they were get paid by the Bysantine emperor to be his bodyguards.Originally Posted by edyzmedieval
