Did you know?
The word 'Lance' means just that. In days past, mounted soldiers were considered superior to those on foot. When unhorsed in battle, the lance which the ex-mounted man carried indicated his superiority and gave him certain prestige. From 'lance-man-of-foot', as he was called, comes the modern 'lance' rank.
