Because Anglo-Saxon society had a strong warrior culture, it's not too surprising that there are several Old English words that mean "warrior." Among them are cempa, cniht, garwiga, geoguð, gúðfreca, heremæcg, lindwiga, rinc, etc. These words cover some of the same meanings as soldier, warrior, fighter, swordsman, veteran, shieldbearer, spearbearer, etc.
