n10:abstract

A Hersir was a local Viking military commander of a hundred (a county subdivision) of about 20 men and owed allegiance to a jarl or king. They were also aspiring landowners, and, like the middle class in many feudal societies, supported the kings in their centralization of power. Originally, the term Hersir referred to a wealthy farmer who owned land and had the status of a leader. Throughout the Viking Age, Hersir was eventually redefined as someone who organized and led raids. In the 10th century, the influence of Hersirs began to decrease due to the development of effective national monarchies in Scandinavia. Hersir was again redefined later on, to mean a local leader or representative. The independence of the Hersir as a military leader eventually vanished, to be replaced only by the title of a royal representative. The "Hávamál", which was the mythical advice of the supreme creator Odin to mankind, contains a number of verses emphasizing the virtue of cautious consideration and strategical attack. This theme, in its oral form, was one of the major influences on the mind of the Viking Hersir. The Hersir is the main Norse hero unit in Age of Mythology. It is available in the Archaic Age once a Temple has been built. Like other heroes, Hersir are strong against myth units and can pick up Relics. In addition, Hersir generate a trickle of 0.6 favor per minute each just by being alive, and they earn double favor in combat.
