Burgmann
A Burgmann (plural: Burgmannen) was a member of the low aristocracy in the Middle Ages who guarded and defended castles. They were hired by a lord of the castle (Burgherr), often titled the burgrave (Burggraf), to take on the Burghut, the guarding and defence of a castle. The role is roughly equivalent to the English castellan.
