I think the conclusion that has come out of this is that you should
remove any of your knights from the army, then, and create a seperate
army for
them alone. If they are still in the army and an order comes through
from their region lord contradicting a marshal's order, they should
point out to
their region lord the contradictory element, in as much as the orders
say to do two different things. However, the marshal's authority can
never
supercede the region lord's, so the lord's orders would, in a sense, still
be the more pertinent ones.

However, at the end of the day, unless you need to do something at extreme
short notice and for a temporary time span, it is only good etiquette to
remove them from the army first. The few button clicks it requires saves a
lot of confusion later.

I believe this about sums up the little discussion above. Thank you fellas
