the palatini (palatinae) were officials. Judges if you like. Not some fanatical knights like this goon imagined (seriously, look at the picture he posted.).

Lovely.
oh really? well, the japanese and the chinese wore some crazy stuff into battle, but to dismiss asia as a whole like this is ridiculous. Again, persians, namely Sassanids wore stuff the norman knights "discovered" centuries later.
