Emirate of Cordoba (Age of Charlemagne) Missile Infantry

Armoured Archers

Although the amount of cavalry fielded by the Umayyads increased over time, the numbers remained biased in favour of infantry (and weight of numbers at that) for much of the early Middle Ages. Drawn from the native Andalusian and north African Berber populations, infantrymen had to be proficient in both melee and skirmishing techniques and carried both axes and bows, so their battlefield role could be changed by the general according to the tactical situation with which they were presented. Despite advances in horse archery elsewhere in the world - and particularly in the east - skirmishing remained primarily an infantry role; horse archers were used, but were not a common sight in western Umayyad armies of the period.
