Has anyone done any research into the size of a tribal kings household?
ie how many Huscarls can a king support based on the population of his tribe. I
As a guestimate I've always figured that for every thousand people in a tribe,
Frex, the Dundealos have 10,000 people which means their King has a personal
would presume that they have significantly more than the typical Clan Chief.
the King can muster approx 5 Huscarls who would be seperate from the Clan
Huscarls. Also, on a tribal level, most Huscarls would be Humakti whereas on a
clan level its the other way round.
guard fo 50 Huscarls. This would be in addition to the 100+ huscarls that the
clan chiefs could muster. This doesn't include any powerful Thanes or priests
who would significantly boost this number of high quality warriors.
Thoughts anyone?
