Avars (Age of Charlemagne) Spear Infantry

Tribesmen

Though they established a kingdom in the Pannonian Basin, the Avars were chiefly a nomadic people who, as the Middle Ages dawned, were only just embracing the ideas and concepts of the burgeoning European kingdoms. It is widely thought that their westward migration during late antiquity was largely due to the movement of more powerful tribes across the steppes, who were most probably the all-conquering Turks. Therefore, as a people who had travelled from the east to start new lives, their culture was still firmly rooted in hunting and the nomadic way, rather than the settled lives of the 'civilised' western nations. At this time, tribesmen armed with bows still considered themselves the primary providers; men who would fight for their tribe and homes against all comers, rather than rely on any sort of administrative structure to organise their defence. it was this that enabled them to respond quickly to the Slavic incursions of the period, and with some success.
