Suebi Oath Takers
These men have sworn to fight, and by the spear they shall!The Suebi were not a single tribe, but a collection of many smaller groupings sharing a language, gods, and an abiding interest in raiding their neighbours across the Rhine. This interest in warfare is important, however, as it is through warfare that Suebi warriors earned fame and notoriety. While kings and chiefs were often members of elite or ‘noble’ families, their positions were elected; success in war was a good way of attaining and keeping power within the tribes. This need for glory and to be seen doing mighty deeds might also explain the most distinctive feature of a Suebi’s appearance: his hair. To distinguish themselves from their slaves, Suebi freemen and warriors sported a topknot that added to their height and fearsome appearance. For kings, chiefs and champions, this ‘Suebian Knot’ was even more elaborate than usual. That way, the doer of great deeds would be clearly visible on the battlefield.
