Muṭawwi'a Armies

gra_muttavia_armies

The Muṭawwi'a, religiously motivated volunteers from the wider Islamic world, have been coming to Granada since the late thirteenth century to fight a defensive jihad on the last Andalusi frontier. North African Berber riders, Turkish archers passing through Ifriqiya, and Mamlūk-trained officers from Cairo accept Nasrid coin and the promise of paradise to swell our ranks beyond what our small population could ever raise. This pool of volunteer reinforcement lets a kingdom of three hundred thousand subjects field armies whose ferocity surprises every Castilian commander who has not faced them before.
