In the feudal system all males owed military service as part of their duties to their lord, in times of war or when the king wanted to go on campaign he could call on his nobles to recruit the pesants under this clause, of course this pesants would be very poorly armed and armored and highly undisciplined, and were usually only recruited until the harvest season.
