That's a tough question to answer with a yes or a no.

Were the townspeople happy to have you? Did they have any kind of a choice?

IF the answer is yes, then I would say most free thinking types would not call you marauders. The larger unit from which you deserted might, as might any organized OPFOR units in the AO. If your group didn't have the blessing of the local civies then I think most everyone would consider you marauders.

Perhaps, once most of Europe had transformed to a sort of feudal system then your PC's situation would be the norm and the term marauder would apply only to roving bandits.
