10 Medieval Armies That Made Whole Kingdoms Tremble

These are the ten medieval armies whose reputation did the fighting for them. The Janissaries taken as boys and raised into the Sultan's shock troops. The Golden Horde, who turned tribute into an empire. The Great Heathen Army that swallowed three English kingdoms. Jan Zizka's war wagons, a peasant militia that beat crusader knights with farm carts. The Teutonic Knights, a monastic order that became a state. The Swiss pikemen who took no prisoners and were feared across Europe for it. The longbowmen of Agincourt. The White Company, mercenaries who sold Italy its own wars. And the Mongol storm of 1241, which broke a Polish-German army and a Hungarian one in the same week — then vanished, for reasons historians still argue about.
