Quote:I am currently reading Robert Gaebel's Cavalry Operations in the Ancient Greek World. He follows your definition. But others, IMO the majority of scholars, refer to the weight and protective character of the armour. A fully armoured knight is heavy cavalry if he is in formation charging at the enemy. He becomes light cavalry when he starts chasing down routers.
