Re: [Social Engineering] Status and Military Rank in Medieval Feudalism
I imagine that an unlanded knight would likely have Military Rank 3 because he would have command (rather than support) the equivalent of a platoon of soldiers on behalf of his overlord. His overlord would grant him his arms and his mount, so he would only require a Comfortable Wealth to support his Status 2 (since one level would come from and be supported by his military rank), but he would probably require Patron to represent his overlord. I imagine that a landed knight would have not have Military Rank (his earning and his men come from his land), though he would receive a brevet Military Rank equal to his Status during war (meaning that he would have equal Military Rank to an unlanded knight during war from his Status 3 and Very Wealthy Wealth).

“Doesn’t normally do that” isn’t the same as “can’t do that”. If a knight brought a suspect ed murderer and evidence before a lord holding the High Justice there may be a trial, but nobody would tell the knight “ you can’t do that”. Last edited by tanksoldier; 02-21-2018 at 04:33 PM. |

Should a tribune pay 15 points for Status 3 and 15 points for military rank 3? ...the rank is still a side effect of their status. |

Re: [Social Engineering] Status and Military Rank in Medieval Feudalism
Someone with rank and not status gets court-martialed for pouting in his tent over a slave girl while everyone else has to fight.

Re: [Social Engineering] Status and Military Rank in Medieval Feudalism
Military Rank 3 also gives a level of Status that your Wealth does not need to support.

So, for example, Henry VIII had Status 7, Feudal Rank 7, and some level of Wealth---let's say Multimillionaire 1 after he expropriated the monasteries. His wealth would have cost 75 points; his Rank 35; but his Status would have been discounted 5 points for Wealth and 10 for Rank, meaning it cost 20 points.
