Unit Description
Royal Bodyguards are the unit that most factions get with their kings and heirs in. They are essentially the same as Mounted Nobles, except for the smaller unit size. They can be used the same way, to break units in combat and punch through weak lines, but due to the smaller size care must be taken to keep them from being bogged down (especially if the unit contains a king/heir).
They are available to all factions except the Vikings, who get Huscarles for their royal unit.
