Hail Caesar Medieval Spain Castillian Armoured Infantry B
Medieval Spain's Castilian armored infantry were pivotal forces during the Reconquista, a period spanning from the 8th to the 15th centuries as Christian kingdoms sought to reclaim Iberian territories from Muslim rule. These infantrymen were typically equipped with chainmail or plate armor, helmets, and carried a variety of weapons such as swords, spears, and crossbows. The Castilian armored infantry were known for their discipline and effectiveness in both offensive and defensive operations. They often formed the core of the armies of the Kingdom of Castile, participating in key battles and sieges. Their role was crucial in the eventual unification of Spain under Christian rule, contributing to the establishment of a powerful and unified Spanish kingdom.
Heavy armour paired with spears and shields makes this unit ideal to absorb cavalry charges as long as their flanks are protected by other units!
