Organization of the troops of the Franks.

Always the core of the troops of this people were the squads of the leaders. It is also worth knowing that the Franks did not provide the flanks and rear. They did not consider it necessary to allocate any reserve for this. Therefore, their weak points were, of course, the flanks. It is also worth knowing that every warrior who was in such an army was obliged to acquire weapons exclusively at his own expense. The quality of all weapons was checked at special reviews by the king himself. If a warrior’s weapon was faulty, then very strict penalties were imposed on it.
