Spanish Rebels (Age of Charlemagne) Spear Infantry

Tribesmen

The Kingdom of Asturias was built atop the remnants of the Visigothic Kingdom, shattered by the Umayyad Caliphate's invasion during the first half of the 8th century AD. As such, many societal and military styles of earlier periods survived into the Asturian era. Aspects of old Iberian tribal culture were still alive and as a result Muslim forces encountered more difficulty capturing territory in the north. Its lack of modern, urban centres forced the fight out into the countryside - topography that the Asturians knew far better than the invaders and used to their advantage. In fact, the fledgling kingdom - founded by the Visigothic noble Pelagius - united the many displaced Christians against the Muslim threat. It was largely populated with Gothic refugees from the Umayyad conquest, who had refused to convert to Islam and submit to the caliphate's rule. As such, whilst Christian knights and soldiers became commonplace, tribal warriors remained an integral part of the Asturian military model, leading the kingdom to its first victory at the Battle of Covadonga in AD711.
