| The Franconian tank riders were specially trained, heavily armed and armored riders with metal armor. They are considered the forerunners of the medieval knights.
A special force soon formed from the Tank riders, the so-called Scharen, Latin for `scarae`. Used in small departments, they were used to carry out rapid commando operations and, if necessary, to storm fortifications. They played a particularly important role in the Saxon Wars. This troop probably goes back to the Merovingian period, their members either lived directly at the royal court or in the vicinity of the Palatinate. |
