Hermandad Infantry

The Hermandad Infantry are the organized militia companies of the Santa Hermandad — the Holy Brotherhood established to provide Castile with a standing internal force capable of maintaining order across the vast meseta. Unlike the old feudal levies, these men are raised and paid by the towns but answer to royal magistrates rather than to local lords, and their discipline makes them a far more reliable instrument of the new centralized state than any baronial host.
