The Franks are the remnants of invading bretonnians that couldn't settle themselves in the new land and took up a life as mercenaries. They are distinquished by their foreign weapons and armour and fight only on foot. Many of them hide their faces beneath cloth or chainmail and many are former knights or have committed crimes such as plunder or rape. Some of these have forsaken all that they used to fight for while others still cling to some knightly code.
