So, let's use a population pyramid from Spain in the late Middle Ages. Well, if we halve Valcanor's population to get the male population, then we get 1,631,478. If we're conscripting from age 18 to age 60, we get 52.5% of the male population. Multiply 1,631,478 by 52.5% and that's 856,526. Maybe subtract out some sick people or people living way out from cities, balance that out by adding a few women in, then subtract out the 34,925 and you get 821,600 fit-for-service men (and a few women). Now, maybe not all of them will want to be soldiers, so we can cut off a few, but that's still more than enough for my number to be reasonable. If I included all women of age, then I would easily surpass that number. Even if I was stricter with my age limit, I'd be losing 100,000 tops, still leaving me with thousands of reserves beyond my number.
