| The Franconian tank riders were specially trained, heavily armed and armored with metal armor. They are considered the forerunners of medieval knights.nAfter Charlemagne`s army reform, only those conscripts who had greater material possessions or a fief were conscripted. Only a warrior with enough farmed land was able to pay for the expensive equipment and still have enough time to practice warfare. As a result, the noble and free vassals in the war system became more and more important, while in return those of the peasant landowners disappeared more and more. |
