Governing
Merchants, Landlords, Builders and Clerics can govern a province. Depending
on their profession and experience, they may give the province a bonus.
A knight governing a town can be identified by an icon below his face.
Marshal
Marshals are knights who can lead your armies. Without a Marshal in your
service, you cannot conquer other provinces. In order to recruit units for
your Marshal, he must be deployed in a town. The Marshal is the only
knight in Knights of Honor who can learn new skills in order to improve his military
performance. Marshals are also the only knights who appear as in-game units that
can be moved around in the Strategic View. Some of your Marshals may even become
Crusaders, and the Pope may even choose them to lead a crusade of their own.

or defense bonus, and so on.

morale is higher than usual.
Dread

morale in battle.

units gain experience faster than normal.
