'''Cavalry''' is the collective term for [[soldier]]s who fought on horseback and engage in face to face combat with the enemy. They were usually armed with swords or lances.
They are distinguishable from [[infantry]] and [[artillery]] troops. Mounted infantry who fought dismounted were called [[dragoon]]s.
