| Unit Description |
|
|
 |
The most famous of all Byzantine units, made up wholly of Scandinavians and Englishmen, The Varangian guard were initially a military levy sent to the Byzantine emperor from the 'Rus' which are now a permanent unit often used as royal bodyguards. These superbly skilled warriors wield two-handed axes with vicious abandon, hacking down the Emperor's enemies. The Varangoi (Varangians or Vikings) are said to have provided the Emperors personal bodyguard (Hetaireia Basiklike or Megas Hetaireia). They are often named after their large battle-axe: Pelekyphoroi (Axe-bearers).
