Ceitherne, meaning "warband", make up the bulk of the infantry in Irish armies. Readily recruited from towns and villages, these Gaelic soliders work well when deployed in tandem with the heavier Galloglaigh. Their preferred equipment is most often whatever they can lay their hands on, typically an axe and shield, and for a fortunate few, padded armour.
