Royal Guard, of course.

There was no lion. It's in the game so Alahan can have a high-MOV, high-DAM, low-TOU option (i.e. the "assault" class). Doesn't bother me too much.

while Knight is mounted unit by its title... but propably calling him a Foot Knight (i dont remember english word for warrior that willingly dismounted his horse for battle) would be enough for some time.
My guess is the Lion Knight is sword-and-board because he's basically a reskin of the Swordsman. Less work.
Historically, the iconic knight is a mounted warrior, but plenty of them fought on foot for various reasons at various times and places. Troops who ride to the battlefield, and then dismount, are "mounted infantry" (although this was the way "cavalry" operated for much of history. It's hard to fight from horseback before the invention of the stirrup).
