Baronial Army Prices
Hi, I'm trying to figure out the prices and expenses in the Noble's Handbook - I swear there's so many off-hand things that assume I know prices or systems that aren't in here or the core rules, or called out. Right now I *think* I've figured out assized rent, but I'm stuck on understanding the expenses for Baronies - particularly the army. Looking at Banswall as the primary example, we can ignore the garrison, spearmen, and soldiers, as they are all provided for free by the Demesne. We know from the Manor section that Household Knights have wages of £4, which brings the wages of 5 Vassal Knights and 15 Mounted Sergeants to £144 annually. From this, we can parse down that 3 Mounted Sergeants and 1 Vassal Knight combine to be worth £28.8.
And that's where I'm stumped. As far as I can tell, this is the only book where Mounted Sergeants have been mentioned, and have no statements on wages or ransom that I can use to reverse engineer this. Anyone with more experience with the older editions mind lending a hand?
