...............................lead an army???...............
===========================================================
Answer: Medieval serjantz did not lead anything. The modern term "sergeants" and the medieval term serjantz both come from Latin serviens, meaning "serving" - indicating their very lowly status at the very bottom of the social scale.
Sergeant status was part of the peasant class and could indicate two different things:
The medieval sergeant was not in charge of anything or anybody, unless granted specific authority to carry a banner, for example. He took orders from his feudal lord who was a knight or a higher nobleman and he was essentially the PBI (poor bloody infantry) who suffered most of the casualties, did most of the dirty work and got none of the accolades.
After a medieval battle, casualties were normally only counted among the knights and other nobility - the casualties among the sergeants were ignored, since they were insignificant people and counted for nothing.
There was no explorers in the middle ages. When exploration started that is when the middle ages ended.
Before the middle ages was Anquity (Greeks and Romans) and after the middle ages was the Renissance
well your wording is confusing😕
The 'middle ages' is also known as the 'medieval period'.
The fall of Rome in 410 AD
