For the Hittite 2021-4111-AJMS – 11 FEB 2021 1 The “Protocols” for the Hittite “Royal Guard” during 2 the Old Kingdom: Observations on Elite Military Units 3 and their Possible Warfare Applications 4 5 In this article, we intend to analyse the importance and modus operandi of a 6 military unit (generally known as “Royal Guard”) whose function was, 7 among other things, the protection of the Hattuša-based Hittite kings. For 8 this essay, we will be mainly using two Hittite textual sources known as 9 “instructions” or “protocols”. We aim to find a connection between these 10 guards and their function regarding the protection of the royal palace as 11 well as their military enlistment in that elite unit. The period to be covered in 12 this analysis comes directly from the choice of sources: the Hittite Old 13 Kingdom, confined between the chronological beacons of the 17th, 16th and 14 15th centuries BC. With this analysis, we intend to provide some relevant 15 data that may contribute to a better understanding of these elite military 16 units, particularly in regards to their probable warfare functions. Were they 17 used in battle? How were they armed? What was their tactical importance in 18 combat? How was the recruitment done? How were the units formed? These 19 will be some questions that we will try to answer throughout this article. 20 21 Keywords: Guard; Palace; Command; Warfare; Infantry. 22 23 24 Introduction 25 26 The Hittites1 were an Indo-European people that arrived in Anatolia through 27 the Caucasus from Eurasia between 2000 and 1900 BC2. On their Indo-European 28 journey to the west they also brought horses. The Hittite people had their capital in 29 Hattuša. For some centuries in the Second Millennium BC3, they were a 1The Hittite civilization is divided into two great periods: the Hittite Old Kingdom (c. 1650- 1400 BC) and the Hittite Empire (c. 1400-1207 BC); cf. Bryce 2007, 7. 2Haywood 2005, 36. Bryce 2005, 11. For more informations regarding the Indo-European population and their origins see Raulwing, Peter. 2000. Horses, Chariots and Indo-europeans.

Researchers like John Haywood argue that this population arrived firstly in the Western regions of Anatolia, by the Bosphorus; cf. Haywood 2005, 36. 3The earliest Hittite history in Anatolia began in the 18th century BC with the Kussar kings, followed by an obscure period which was interrupted by King Anitta´s unification process. This leader is a central character in one of the earliest written records from Anatolia, the so- called “Anitta Text”. This source narrates the conquest and expansion made by both Anitta and his father, Pithana, monarchs of Kussara and rulers of other regions in Central Anatolia. Around 1650 BC, Hattušili I rose to power and made Hattuša the Hittite capital. He built his royal palace in the city and there he organised his administrative and military institutions. This monarch´s reign was marked by a centralisation of power and foreign expansion, with 1 2021-4111-AJMS – 10 FEB 2021 1 hegemonic power that dominated most regions of Anatolia, a part of Northern 2 Mesopotamia (Mittani) and Northern Syria, including cities like Aleppo, Alalakh, 3 Tell Ahmar, and Karkamiš, among others. The apogee of this empire occurred 4 between c. 1344-1295 BC, during the reigns of Suppiluliuma I and Muršili II4. 5 Both “Protocol for the Royal Body Guard”5 and the “Protocol for the Palace 6 Gatekeeper”6 are a succession of detailed practical procedures that military men 7 had within the Hittite King's palace in Hattuša. These texts are rich textual sources 8 regarding their descriptive scope, although the latter is rather fragmented. This 9 factor explains why the “palace gatekeepers” text is less used throughout the 10 study. Especially considering the textual examples used and that contributed to the 11 development of the approached problem, coming almost exclusively from the 12 “Protocol for the Royal Body Guard”. Although this reality, these texts provide us 13 with an insight into the procedures and the characteristics of the Hittite elite 14 military units. Regarding the study made by Hans G. Güterbock and Theo van der 15 Hout on the “Protocol for the Royal Guard”, we can assume that the first sections 16 report on how guards should proceed in the morning, from the moment they 17 appear in the “royal guard yard”, to the opening of the palace gates7, and the 18 worshipping of the unnamed protector god8. After these events, we are given 19 information about the king's safe departure and the procedures associated with 20 such an event, as well as the monarch´s inevitable return to the palace9. 21 These military personnel would be highly trained and essential for the 22 protection of all Hittite royal family members, with a special focus on the king and 23 his children. Their discipline would be a key aspect in a proper performance of the 24 required functions, a factor that is evident in the detail present in these soldiers’ 25 operating systems. Certainly, if a royal guard make any mistake, he should be 26 severely punished because of his responsibility. 27 As the article title suggests, our focus will mainly be on the possible warfare 28 duties that these elite units could have had. Therefore, the palace procedures that 29 were associated with these units, based on this source, will only be briefly 30 analysed. We should also mention that methodologically, it was used as the main successive military campaigns in the north and central regions of Anatolia. After his death, he was succeeded by his adopted son, Muršili I (c. 1620-1590 BC), who continued his father's enterprise. This king carried out campaigns in the northern regions of Syria, but failed to attach any Syrian territories, like the greater power in the region, Yamhad. Until c. 1440 BC, the Hittites underwent a complicated phase, during which they lost importance in the larger political scenario. This was due especially to some border pressures from Arzawa in the West, Kaska in the North, the Kizzuwatna population in the Southeast and the Mittani to the East; cf. Van de Mieroop 2016, 128; Carreira 1999, 23-24; Liverani [1991] 2012, 339; Carreira 1999, 24; Liverani [1991] 2012, 339-353; Bryce 2005, 47. 4Carreira 1999, 12-13. 5CTH 262/IBoT 1.36; Miller 2013, 103-121 6CTH 263.B/KUB 26.28; Miller 2013, 91-97. 7This written source is also very rich in descriptions of parts of the palace itself; cf. Hoffner Jr. 1997, 78. 8CTH 262/IBoT 1.36: 1. 22-25; Miller 2013, 105. 9Güterbock et Van der Hout 1991, 1-2 2 2021-4111-AJMS – 10 FEB 2021 1 translation10 of both Hittite sources, the work of Jared Miller, named Royal Hittite 2 Instructions and Related Administrative Texts11. As a complement to Jared Miller's 3 work, we will also consult and compare the translations of the “Protocol for the 4 Royal Guard” made by Hans G. Güterbock and Theo van der Hout in their work, 5 “The Hittite Instruction for the Royal Bodyguard” in the Assyriological Studies 6 2412 and also with the translation of Gregory McMahon named “Instructions to the 7 Royal Guard (MEŠEDI Protocol)” in Context of Scripture, Vol. 1, Canonical 8 Compositions from the Biblical World edited by William Hallo e K. Younger, Jr13. 9 Specifically, from the Hittite source “Protocol for the Royal Body Guard”, 10 comparing the three text’s translations in question, we can observe the difficulties 11 associated with this same script. According to Gregory McMahon, today in 12 Istanbul this inscription is especially problematic as it has several textual overlaps 13 that have been added over time. Beyond this temporal problem, the source is full 14 of specific terms relating to the “royal guard” procedures that make the text even 15 more complicated to translate. Take has an example a passage from this source, 16 more specifically in column 3 on line 1 to 5: 17 18 “[...] The [bod]yguard who [brings] the petitioners [...], and he [takes his place] behind 19 the gold-spear man. [Then as soon as] the king request the law case, the bodygua[rd...] it 20 and p[laces] it in the chief of the bodyguard’s hand. [...] law case, and he tells it to the 21 chief of the bodyguard, but the chief of the bodyguard [...]. [...]” 22 23 Miller 2013, 113 24 25 “[...] [The gu]ard who [brings in] the defendants [takes his stand] behind the gold-spear- 26 man. [When] the king asks for a case (to be tried), the guard [picks] it [out] and p[uts] it 27 into the hand of the chief-of-guards and tells the chief-of-guards what] the case [is]; but 28 the chief of guards [tells the king]. [...]» 29 30 Güterbock et Van den Hout 1991, 23 31 32 “[...] [The gu]ard who [brings in] the defendants [takes his place] behind the man of the 33 golden spear. [But when] the king requests a case, the guard [picks] it [out] and pl[aces] it 34 in the hand of the chief of the guard.

  • For the Hittite “Royal Guard” During the Old Kingdom: Observations on Elite Military Units and Their Possible Warfare Applications

  • Hanigalbat and the Land Hani
    Arnhem (nl) 2015 – 3 Anatolia in the bronze age. © Joost Blasweiler student Leiden University - [email protected] Hanigal9bat and the land Hana. From the annals of Hattusili I we know that in his 3rd year the Hurrian enemy attacked his kingdom. Thanks to the text of Hattusili I (“ruler of Kussara and (who) reign the city of Hattusa”) we can be certain that c. 60 years after the abandonment of the city of Kanesh, Hurrian armies extensively entered the kingdom of Hatti. Remarkable is that Hattusili mentioned that it was not a king or a kingdom who had attacked, but had used an expression “the Hurrian enemy”. Which might point that formerly attacks, raids or wars with Hurrians armies were known by Hattusili king of Kussara. And therefore the threatening expression had arisen in Hittite: “the Hurrian enemy”. Translation of Gary Beckman 2008, The Ancient Near East, editor Mark W. Chavalas, 220. The cuneiform texts of the annal are bilingual: Babylonian and Nesili (Hittite). Note: 16. Babylonian text: ‘the enemy from Ḫanikalbat entered my land’. The Babylonian text of the bilingual is more specific: “the enemy of Ḫanigal9 bat”. Therefore the scholar N.B. Jankowska1 thought that apparently the Hurrian kingdom Hanigalbat had existed probably from an earlier date before the reign of Hattusili i.e. before c. 1650 BC. Normally with the term Mittani one is pointing to the mighty Hurrian kingdom of the 15th century BC 2. Ignace J. Gelb reported 3 on “the dragomans of the Habigalbatian soldiers/workers” in an Old Babylonian tablet of Amisaduqa, who was a contemporary with Hattusili I.

  • Fighting with and Against Napoleon: the Memoirs of Jan Willem Van Wetering
    The Napoleon Series Fighting with and against Napoleon: The Memoirs of Jan Willem van Wetering Translated and edited by: Marc Schaftenaar JAN WILLEM VAN WETERING (born in Zwolle, 15 September 1789 – died in Zwolle, 1 February 1859) was only 14 years old when he joined the army of the Batavian Republic. He retired from the army in 1848, after a long and distinguished career. Even at 14 he was quite tall, being immediately made a soldier instead of a drummer; he is soon transferred to the grenadier company, and he remains a grenadier during his active service. Throughout the memoir, one finds that Van Wetering was a fine soldier, who not only did his duty, but also took good care of those he commanded, though he never boasts about his actions. Company commanders offer him a place in their companies, and one even goes as far as to trick him into a bar fight, in order to tarnish his reputation and prevent him from being transferred to the Guard Grenadiers, -although he later is still invited to join the Guard. His memoirs are however still full of details such as descriptions of the routes, with distances (in hours) and dates of the marches. He added more information, like an order of battle for the Netherlands army at Waterloo, or a list of names of the Dutch soldiers who returned with the Russo-German Legion. The hardships he suffers during the campaign in Russia and life as a prisoner of war are the greatest part of this memoir, and it is only too bad he only give as minimal account of his service in the Russo-German Legion.

  • Battle of the Mincio River
    Battle of the Mincio River Age of Eagles Scenario by GRW, 2008 SETTING Date: 8 February 1814, 10:00 AM Location: 10 miles south of Lake Garda, Italy Combatants: French Empire & Kingdom of Italy vs. Austria History: As Napoleon retreated behind the Rhine River following a crushing defeat at Leipzig, the Sixth Coalition pressed their advance on other fronts. In northern Italy, a veteran Austrian army of 35,000 men under Field Marshal Heinrich von Bellegarde sought to reestablish Austrian dominance over Italy. A major victory would enable the Austrians to link up with the recent defector and King of Naples, Joachim Murat. Standing between these two forces was a conscript army of 34,000 men commanded by Napoleon’s stepson, Eugene de Beauharnais. Eugene sought to attack and destroy the Austrian field army before dealing with Murat’s Neapolitans, and toward this end, he intended to quickly concrete his scattered divisions on the east bank of the Mincio River, near the town of Villafranca. Unbeknownst to the French, the Austrian army was not concentrated near Villafranca. Field Marshal Bellegarde mistakenly believed the French were retreating to the west, and had begun to send his divisions across the Mincio River in pursuit. When February 8, 1814 dawned, both armies straddled the river at different points, and neither commander realized the intentions of the other. Eugene de Beauharnais Heinrich von Bellegarde French Orders: Trap and Austrian Orders: Locate destroy the Austrian army and engage the French along the banks of the rearguard. Control all Mincio River. Keep control roads leading east to of the vital bridge at Goito.
