Avar Horde

The Avars' skill as horsemen is legendary, second only to their aim.

The Avars were a nomadic people who originated on the northern borders of the Chinese Empire. Derogatively, the Chinese called the Avars ‘Juan Juan’ meaning ‘nasty wriggling insect’, indicating their distaste for the nomadic lifestyle. A personally selected group of professional warriors led by a Khagan, or Khan, the Avars were driven through northern Iran and in to the steppes by the movement of the Huns. Naturally, their environment lent itself to the perfection of horsemanship and eventually many nations, including the Eastern Romans, adopted their cavalry methods. This included the use of special wood-framed saddles, light fitting garments and their stronger, more deadly bow design.
