Historically, medieval European armies were usually made up of numerous
factions. Who allied with whom depended on the circumstances. It was
also common for factions to change sides in the middle of battle.
My Crusader [Lion] men are one faction. They have recruited some
Forestmen archers and yeomen into their regular forces. A further group
of Forestmen tend to ally with the Crusader lords, but they are jealous
of their independence.
Another faction is the Royal Knights crowd. Their leader is a cousin
and bitter rival of the Crusader leader. They are likely to employ
mercenaries, especially crossbowmen.
Whichever faction is operating in their home territory can also mobilise
peasant levies, but these are ineffectual as anything but targets.
The Wolfpack are outlaws living mainly along the border between the
Crusader and Royal Knight lands. They generally stay out of fights
unless their 'business" is threatened. Then they side with whomever
looks like the winner.
Recently a new faction has appeared. Based on the "robbers" from
Knight's Kingdom, they are a rather primitive branch of the Crusader/RK
culture, inhabiting a poorer part of the land.
From across the sea comes the huge, sinister Dragonmaster horde. Their
devices are fantastic and they are rumored to be sorcerors.
There are also a couple of Military Orders, including one of virgin
women.
From the various themes, the more generic-looking men-at-arms make up
formations of light, medium, and heavy infantry to fill out the ranks of
liveried nobles.
But that's just _my_ world.
