Muslim Rebels (Age of Charlemagne) Melee Infantry

Andalusian Warriors

Men who signed up to fight in the Andalusian armies of the Umayyad Caliphate were usually motivated by their religious beliefs, as was generally the case right across the burgeoning Islamic empire. Spain was an extremely wealthy territory due to its iron and silver resources. These seams, mined by both Carthage and Rome in centuries past, were reopened by the Umayyads, who then used the resultant wealth to import well-made weapons and armour from across Europe as well as creating their own. Less is known about Andalusian infantry than their cavalry, save that they represented the bulk of Umayyad armies in the region at a time when its cavalry was considered inferior and insufficient for purpose compared to that of their western European rivals.
