Arrière-ban
text:
In medieval and early modern France, the arrière-ban was a general proclamation whereby the king summoned to war all the vassals of his vassals. The term is a folk-etymological correction of Old French herban, from Germanic here (army) and ban (proclamation); compare German Heerbann. Although in theory, the arrière-ban depended on feudal relations, in practice it amounted to a general levy on all able-bodied males in the kingdom. In theory, this included all men between the ages of 18 and 60 yea
