I really didn’t expect much of him, but this? The Berbers had arguably the best cavalry in the Mediterranean.
For those who don’t know about this battle, it’s one of the most important battle in history. The Umayyad Caliphate won a clear victory over the Visigothic Kingdom. The vast majority of the troops of the Caliphate were Berber cavalry. This victory permitted the Arabs to conquer Iberia and begin the formidable era of Al-Andalus. Ahhh, good time.
