Caballería

Caballería was a historical Spanish military unit, similar to a cavalry regiment, composed of mounted soldiers trained for fast, flexible warfare. Originating in medieval Spain, it played a key role in both noble warfare and regional conflicts, emphasizing mobility, horsemanship, and combat skills. Over time, these units evolved with changes in technology and tactics, but the term generally refers to mounted troops that provided rapid response, reconnaissance, and charges during battles, symbolizing martial honor and nobility in Spanish military history.
