Free men taking up the sword to defend their loved ones or to fight a common foe, the new Saxon Ceorls stand ready.
Saxon Ceorls A
The term Ceorl (or churl) eventually came to mean ‘a non-servile peasant’ which was the lowest class of a free man during the Saxon reign. This freedom gave the Ceorls the right to bear arms and fight!
Saxon Ceorls B
Saxon Ceorls formed the majority of Saxon forces, making up the backbone of many armies. As a result, the grade of their weaponry and armour (if they had any) often lacked in comparison to other units at the time.
