Zenata Cavalry

The Zenata Cavalry are light horsemen of the Zenata Berber confederations — the Banū Marīn, Banū 'Abd al-Wād, and Maghrāwa — whose pastoral upbringing makes them masters of swift desert and steppe warfare. Each warrior brings his own mount, his own kit, and his own retinue of kinsmen, requiring no royal armory or extended training to field. This pool of tribal light cavalry gives every Maghrebi sultan a fast-moving striking arm that the heavier Christian and eastern-Muslim cavalry cannot easily catch in open country.
