Caballería de Cuantía

The Caballería de Cuantía are the property-qualified horsemen of Castile — men of sufficient wealth to maintain horse and arms, but below the rank of the high nobility. Riding in the light jinete style, these mid-rank cavalrymen fill the space between the great lords' retinues and the foot levies of the towns, providing the Castilian crown with a broad base of mounted manpower in exchange for exemption from the common tribute — a narrower privilege than an hidalgo's, but privilege enough to keep a horse.
