fyrd

No one was surprised by the Fyrd, waiting for them there.

Offer a division of your Fyrd for his direct control.

It came just a week before the fyrd was to gather.

However, the major innovation is in the organization of the Fyrd.

These included the right to command the fyrd of the hundred in war.

Then, in the dawn, the first men of the fyrd arrived.

Historians are divided about the people who were part of the fyrd.

A man from every five hides was expected to serve in the king's fyrd.

The fyrd usually served for two months, except in emergencies.

He also updated the traditional fyrd to provide a standing army and navy.

This place is wild enough so that there might be a few Fyrd wandering around.

For another, that part of the country was full of Fyrd.

Or perhaps the fyrd would come, and there would be too few men.

They charged down the hill, and the fortress Fyrd followed.

In mind she saw them, every Fyrd, in the valley and for miles around.

These men would have been a mix of the fyrd and housecarls.

Insects went over the wall in a wave, crashed into the Fyrd behind.

It appears that the hundred was the main organising unit for the fyrd.

The dark ground was spotted with red, the campfires of the Fyrd.

The Fyrd were organised to advance open order' the lines of men being spread out and keeping a good space between them.

This is safe country, too empty for Fyrd, I think.

But no Fyrd had been allowed to get away and warn others of what had happened.

For a second, every Fyrd captain waited for another to make the first move.

Fyrd scattered in all directions but eastward, where the Sun seemed to be coming up.

If there's nothing much living in the Waste, there can't be Fyrd, either.
