During the period of the Crusades, turcopoles (also "turcoples" or "turcopoli"; from the Greek: τουρκόπουλοι, literally "sons of Turks") were locally recruited mounted archers and light cavalry employed by the Byzantine Empire and the Crusader states. A leader of these auxiliaries was designated as Turcopolier, a title subsequently given to a senior officer in the Knights Templars and the Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, in charge of the coastal defenses of Rhodes and Malta.
This box set contains twelve 28mm multi-part plastic Turcopoles and unbarded horses, which can be assembled with several choice of weapons like shields, lances, bows and with several different heads and accessories.
