The Cingesweardas (Éo.: "Royal Guard") was an elite military unit of the kingdom of Rohan.
Hand picked from the very best warriors in all of Rohan, the Royal Guard were sworn to give their lives in the service of their king and to fight without fear. They wore intricately crafted heavy armor and carried the best weaponry that the armories of Rohan had to offer.
The Royal Guard operated both mounted and dismounted.They were among the few rohirric cavalry units who also used a version of horse armor, similar to lighter easterling cataphracts.
