housecarl
Housecarls (Danish: Huskarl) were household troops, personal warriors and equivalent to a royal bodyguard to Scandinavian kings. The anglicized term comes from the Old Norse term huskarl or huscarl (literally, 'house man', i.e., armed man in the service of a specific house.) They were also called hirth ('household') that referred to household troops. The term later came to cover armed soldiers of the household. They were often the only professional soldiers in the kingdom, the rest of the army being made up of militia, peasant levy, and occasionally mercenaries. They were usually armed with long Danish axe. A kingdom would have fewer than 2000 Housecarls.
The term entered the English language when Canute the Great conquered and occupied Anglo-Saxon England.
In England there may have been as many as 3000 royal housecarls, and a special tax was levied to provide pay in coin. They were housed and fed at the king's expense. They formed a standing army of professional soldiers and also had some administrative duties in peacetime as the King's representatives. The term was often used in contrast to the non-professional fyrd. These Housecarls used a tactic called the shieldwall. In this tactic the Housecarls formed a line with their shields locked blocking the invaders or enemies from penetrating their lines. The Saxons were an aggressive force, and did not like defending. Thus, this battle tactic was not used for a long time.
Certainly the vast majority of English housecarls died at the Battle of Hastings. Survivors, along with King Harold's thegns, crossed to Continental Europe as mercenary troops. Some of these reached Byzantium and along with other Saxons joined the Varangian Guard. By the 12th century, the Varangian Guard contained so many Saxons that the entire unit was sometimes called "the English Guard."

Who were the best soldiers in history?
technically it would be the Spartans, since they were the ones who trained their young to be soldiers at the earliest points in their lives, around seven until they were 40 or dead, although some developmental psychologists believe that if you wanna make an such an important impact on a child's life, you should get them when they're 3 or younger
but possibly the better military force would be the Persian immortals, where they didn't really have any sort of military advantage except numbers, the idea behind them was that for every soldier that died, there would be one behind in reserves, who would take their place
but overall the best would possibily be the roman military, it had a great diversification between cavalry, infantry, auxiliary, and uniform, although the bright red did probably stand out in the typical lush forests that dominated the European landscape, the idea behind their uniforms was to make the soldier unable to tell if they were bleeding or not, so although they wouldn't be able to blend in with the area like the modern military uniform, they would be able to keep fighting until they died from blood loss or were infected, which was highly likely in those days, they also had great armor which was very flexible compared to their enemies, their helmets also had ear holes so that they could still hear orders during battle
the Romans probably had the best designed and most well thought out military until the modern American standing army, although it has had a decline since world war two, it still has an annual budget of half a trillion dollars, and even though it has lost two important conflicts over the past 30 years (Vietnam, Iraq), it still is used on a regular basis since it toppled the Iranian republic in 1958, i believe
