English Army
This article was actually long overdue, as I had been meaning to create it for years. There are actually four Crusader factions in Assassin's Creed, with the Lionheart Crusaders often being forgotten, and since we have pages for the other three factions, it made sense for us to have one on the Lionheart Crusaders as well. To keep things more streamlined, I had always intended the page on the Lionheart Crusaders to be a general page on the English Army.
I was going to rename this page to "English Army" (note the capitalization as well). However, I read on Wikipedia that England didn't have a professional army until after the English Civil War, which makes perfect sense. So then I considered that we should only have an article on the Lionheart Crusaders specifically, seeing as all other major iterations of the English military we encounter in Assassin's Creed is technically the British military. But then I remembered that we still have the English soldiers we encounter in the medieval sequences of Assassin's Creed: Unity's rift missions. Also, the English army—professional or not—appears in Assassin's Creed: Heresy, and I would say are significant enough to be described. So I am now thinking that this page should be a general page on the English military or army, rather than being a page specifically about the professional English Army. Thoughts?

- If its just a page for the English army/military in general, it seems too broad, it'd cover a lot of history. Why not break it up some. Info for "Lionheart Crusaders" shouldnt that just be included in Crusaders, generally? I think "English Army" (for the army the existed between 1660–1707) should be its own page, we already have a page for British Army and Royal Navy. During the English Civil War the armies were the Parliamentarian "New Model Army" and then just the "Royalist Army". In the state that existed by 1660, I don't think there was anything close to an actual "English Army" beforehand. During the fiefdom of England, for battles the "army" were just called upon men.
