Possible terms (depending on context):
- Knight — a mounted, armored warrior of the feudal nobility who owed military service to his lord.
- Vassal — someone who held land from a lord in return for military service and loyalty.
- Men-at-arms — professional, usually heavily armed soldiers (mounted or foot) who served a lord.
- Retainer (household retainer) — a member of a lord’s household who served him, often as a soldier or bodyguard.
- Mercenary — a professional soldier hired for pay rather than by feudal obligation.
If you tell me the period, region, or whether this is for a crossword/clue, I can pick the best single word.
