Housecarl
In medieval Scandinavia, housecarls (, singular ''húskarl''; also anglicised as ''huscarl'' (Old English form) and sometimes spelled ''huscarle'' or ''houscarl'') were either non-servile manservants, or household troops in personal service of someone, equivalent to a bodyguard to Scandinavian lords and kings. This institution also existed in Anglo-Saxon England after its conquest by the kingdom of Denmark in the 11th century. In England, the royal housecarls had a number of roles, both military and administrative; they are well known for having fought under Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings. The original Old Norse term, ''húskarl'', literally means "house man"; see also the Anglo-Saxon term ''churl'' or ''ceorl'', whose root is the same as the Old Norse ''karl'', and which also means "a man, a non-servile peasant".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Germanic Lexicon Project )〕
