Emirate of Cordoba (Age of Charlemagne) Missile Cavalry

Berber Raiders

The Berber people amalgamated into the Muslim forces after the Islamic conquest of Maghreb in the 7th and 8th centuries AD were fierce, stubborn, and not easily subjugated by their new masters. As a collection of tribes, Berbers brought great diversity and skill to the caliphate's army. Their cavalry was of particular note; the Berber being proficient cavalrymen who fielded lightly-armoured, mounted raiders atop excellent Arabian horses. The cavalrymen of the Zenata tribe became known as 'jinetes', who found that switching to horses from camels greatly improved their usefulness on the battlefield. As a result of the caliphate's relentless advance into the Iberian Peninsula, the north African natives soon found themselves fighting the Spanish, who later adapted the jinete cavalry model as they fought back against Islam during the Reconquista.
