Crucial to the Middle Eastern forces involved was the professional cavalryman, known as a faris or horseman. A faris training was far more wide-ranging than that of a contemporary European knight, including the use of horse-archery and the ability to fight on foot as well as general horsemanship and the use of the lance and sword. David Nicolles text presents a detailed view of these fascinating and versatile warriors.
