| book description |
Regarded as the elite arm of the military during the Middle Byzantine period, the cavalry executed high speed reconnaissance, agile arrow barrages and crippling blows to enemy formations. Its ranks were filled primarily through direct recruitment or hereditary service by holders of military lands, but in times of crisis irregulars would be temporarily enlisted. An accessible study of the medieval Romaic soldier's life, this is a thorough and detailed examination of their training, weaponry, dress and daily life. A colourful addition to the Warrior series, it re-affirms the importance of cavalry troops in military victories of the period. Making use of original Greek source material, and featuring unpublished manuscript images, this follow-on volume to Warrior 118 Byzantine Infantryman c.900–1204 brings the world of the Byzantine cavalryman vividly to life.
