	myArmoury.com: The French
		Their cavalry centered on the gendarmerie using their old tactics, though with unarmoured horses, supplemented by German reiters (heavy cavalry with pistols using "caracole" tactics based on firepower), and similar French pistoliers and mounted arquebusiers, now referred to as "carabins".
		The cavalry were dependent upon the "squirearchy" of the Protestant areas, who produced a brave and Ironside-like horse, distinguished by the long-sleeved white casaques they wore over their armour in old fashioned style (their opponents nicknamed them "Millers").
		The square cavalry flags of the late 16th and 17th Centuries would also be fringed; apart from the devices mentioned, they could carry others common at the time, such as the "Fortuna" shown, arms holding swords and so forth, and bore a variety of mottoes and slogans.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Ironside (cavalry)
		Ironside was the name given to a trooper in the cavalry formed by English political leader Oliver Cromwell in the 17th century.
		The Ironsides' use of armour and their disciplined formation and obedience to their commanders, at a period when the majority of both armies consisted largely of ill-equipped rabble, made them virtually invincible.
		The Ironsides were Puritans who often attributed their glory in battle to God, whom they believed they were fighting for.

	Eagle Games Forums: Cavalry to strong?
		Cavalry is strong in combat, but a mixed troop has its advantages too, like the +1 modifier when all three types are in one battle zone.
		This is because the Infantrymen hardened to the march and the Cavalry horses weakened.
		The advantages of Cavalry should be expressed in setting the conditions of the battle (superior scouting, the ability to force the operational level pace, etc.) and an ability to strike a decisive blow after an opponent has broken, an so on.

	Battle of Kilsyth 1645 - Scotwars
		His infantry were principally highlanders drawn from a number of Clans, whilst the cavalry were composed of Gordons and Ogilvies with the addition of gentlemen volunteers from many families, including the Livingstons and Flemings.

		Baille himself fled south with an escort of cavalry, but was caught in the notorious Dullatur Bog, a deep and treacherous marshy area lying between the head waters of the Kelvin and the Bonny.

	Osprey Warrior 44 : Ironsides : English Cavalry 1588-1688
		Many types of cavalryman are established in the imagination of the British public, but the Ironside retains his place as symbolic of the one occasion when the army took an active role in British politics.
		In the nineteenth century a rash of historical publications, paintings and statues with a civil war theme reflected the political divisions of Victorian society and Royalist and Parliamentarian causes were argued over again, reflecting the sub text of contemporary political struggles.
		This book attempts to take a wider view of the Ironside as a warrior who evolved from the experiments of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries to combine firepower with the armoured cavalryman.

	Civil War Ironside
		This well armed and protected cavalry trooper (recreated by the English Civil War Society) - in this case, one of General Cromwell's Ironsides - is typical of the cavalry that fought on both sides, although the amount of equipment did vary according to availability.
		At the start of the war, many units fought by advancing up to the enemy, discharging their pistols and wheeling to the rear to reload.
		Cromwell's troopers quickly earned a fearsome reputation on the battlefield for their fighting prowess and excellent discipline, scattering their foes and greatly contributing to victory in set-piece battles such as Marston Moor in 1644 and Naseby in 1645.

		Whilst the cavalry were relatively easy to raise, recruits (often reluctant) had to be found in order to get the infantry up to strength.
		Meanwhile, Prince Rupert's cavalry swept all before them, but they could not be constrained from charging off the field in pursuit of the enemy, effectively removing them from the battle.
		Although the infantry fight in the centre was hard-fought, it became clear to the Royalists that the battle was lost.

	Forums at the Society - Ancient Roman Horse Equipment (and Medieval eqp.)
		In the fourteenth and fifteenth centurys, which is about when plate armor was really in use, a full harness weighed from about 65 to 85 pounds, rarely more and that in the case of an exceptionally large person.
		It wouldn't surprise me to hear that the average cavalry horse of the mid-nineteenth century was expected to carry more weight.
		Unless they were much bigger and stronger (which from other discussion here I doubt) the horses of the Ironside Cavalry had a more difficult time as 17th century armor - such as would have been worn by Gustavus Adolphus or Cromwell-is quite a bit heavier than the earlier forms.

		The top image is of Carolingian cavalry, so 8th or early 9th century.
		In all candor, I must admit that Charlemaine was 6'4" tall and well proportioned -- once again flying in the face of what I have said about most people of the antiquity.
		Knights were too proud, nobles were too independent, the fryd was too untrained, enough food to maintain operations wasn't available - whatever; the bottom line being that control of maneuver wasn't possible unless it was (a) studied, (b) applied and (c) enforced through effective discipline.
