To get more retinue, select the unit of retinue in the army menu and look for the customize button. In there you can hire more as well as equip them with plate armor

You also need to implement tax via your manor to raise treasury which is the only way to buy the additional retinue recruits, you then have to add a recruit one by one to your retinue via the customise button on the retinue unit in the army tab as above post mentions. You can also upgrade their armour but again costs treasury. Treasury is different to the town funds which are generated via trade for instance.

Also, each new additional recruit costs 50, if you are running a tax on your town at 10 percent for example, you'll need a towns money balance of 2500 to generate 250 treasury a month. This'll get you 5 recruits in a month (5 x 50).

To get a healthy town balance to enable this sort of tax revenue to fund your new retinue recruits you really need a trade depot and exporting surplus goods but without selling yourself short of what your actual settlement needs. What worked for me was selling shoes, wool and cloaks but this really depends on what your settlement have in surplus.
