Lower gentry serving military duty. Wearing good armour and equipped with a spear, able to form a defensive ring of spears.
Many of these Pavise Spearmen are made up of Hungary's 'Jobbagy', holders of a small fiefdom, serving their military duty as infantry because they are too impoverished to own or equip a horse. Armed with a spear and well protected by good armour, these soldiers are effective medium infantry capable of forming a defensive ring of spears.
