Ooh, good question. I may be wrong, but I seem to recall that the term palatini was still being used in Carolingian times, hence 'paladin', but obviously it's meaning changed - ref from the Osprey 'Carolingian Cavalryman'.

Comitatus seems to be used in Tacitus' sense by modern authors in Anglo-Saxon contexts, but I don't know of any period uses. Mmmm...
