Swordsmen and Crusaders are level 4 creatures of Castle. They can be recruited from Barracks.
"Well armed and armored, swordsmen and crusaders are better all-around foot soldiers than their pikemen companions. Crusaders deliver two blows per attack." RoE manual
Both are relatively slow troops, but especially Crusaders with their double strike have high capability of doing damage.
Heroes with a specialty
Catherine the Knight and
Sorsha the Knight have swordsmen as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any swordsmen or crusaders for each level attained after 4th level and gives them a speed bonus of 1.
Roland the Knight's specialty is bugged so it affects crusaders only.
