Used widely by the Almohads to garrison and defend settlements in Moorish occupied Spain and Portugal, these troops are equipped with a sword and are a useful addition to any army. Their prowess in battle is an added bonus. These Urban Militia are well armoured and trained troops, far superior than most militias who are little more than levied peasants.
Thus the Sultans of the Moors hire Christian Knights to protect them. Christians fighting for the Moors, these elite troops resemble the western knights of the time.īeing overthrown by their own palace guard is a risk faced by many rulers, and one way to prevent this is to hire guards from outside of their own cultures, who cannot hope to wield power themselves.
