Heavy cavalry on a larger scale was also present at a later date, starting from 1330s onward. After the battle of Kosovo, manpower was a huge problem, but money was not cause of gold and silver mines. Serbian Despots were therefore able to raise and maintain a small but superbly trained and equipped heavy cavalry force that fought with success against the French and Hungarians at Nicopolis, Mongols at Ancara, and Venetians throughout Zeta (later Montenegro).

      Depends on how one defines medieval, and thier predecesors were. The most likely origin of them are serb light cavalry auxiliaries in the hungarian army. Medieval serbia pretty much entierly consisted of shock troops, either lightly or heavily equiped, mounted or dismounted. The word hussar, or serb spelling gusar, means pirate today, but its root, older meaning is more of a bandit, brigand, highwayman, robber etc. Something that light cavalry was doing even as of late as of late as mid 19th century. While mentioning the origin of polish hussars, if you look at thier tactics, they actually weren't proper medieval heavy cavalry, as they neither had that much armour, neither big heavy armoured horses, neither were willing to get stuck in the melee. What they were doing is the hussar, or light lancer tactic of recoiling as soon as possible after the charge, and either look to make passing cuts with sabres or retreat to thier lines for new lances, because a head on charge into a formation that doesn't rout immediately is so violent and forcefull that the lance either breaks, your grip on it breaks, or is impaled sometimes into multiple soldiers, so no reusing of it.

      ​@@svesnimajmun2731 "Depends on how one defines Medieval"
      Although there is no official standard definition of when the Medieval period (Middle ages) was, the most common dating is fall of Rome to fall of Constantinople (keep in mind a time period doesn't change in a single year, but if you were to pinpoint years for convenience, these to are the most common).
      So to answer your dilemma, one defies Medieval as *476 to 1453* - anything outside that time period is technically not "Medieval" (although can be in "medieval style", eg: If a Medieval armour or battle tactic remains as a standard design or in use post-1453; it is still Medieval technically, but not Medieval per official definition).
      The Polish Winged Hussars are definitely post-Medieval period by more than a century, if not two, and although I am not a great expert on how their army worked, I don't assume that they were much Medieval, at least in style par general.

    Add Mamluks👀
    The Mamluks were among the very few enemies to defeat the Mongols in combat, and they were never conquered. The Mamluk institution had appeared in Islamic civilization in the eighth century as the Caliphs sought to create a military force that was loyal only to the Caliph and not to regional, tribal, or another personal ties. Most Mamluks were of Turkic origin, primarily because the Turks were viewed as better, or at least more natural, warriors than Persians and Arabs. Turks of nomadic origins possessed riding and archery skills from an early age, so that after purchasing them as slaves one only had to refine those skills. The Mamluks therefore became perhaps the most highly trained warriors in the medieval world. They seized power in Egypt in 1250 during the ill-fated Crusade of Louis IX (Saint Louis) and created a Sultanate that dominated Egypt and then Syria until the sixteenth century.

I don't know what you are saying by a knight. A knight is someone who has been made a ser, King Henry V's army was comprised mostly of men at arms and bowmen. If you are talking about cavalry there was very little of it if none in Henry V's campaign exxcept on the French side.
      Cavalry was rendered completely useless during the conditions of agincourt with the muddy fields. I would argue that you are more talking about tactics and formations rather than unit strength. Having an English longbowman who can fire at extensive lengths with excellent accuracy due to extensive law enforced training would make him an elite unit.
      An elite unit is not the equipment, but the person molded for the tactical, strategic, and military drilled to create an elite fighting unit in itself. A spartan for example had fantastic gear, but it was the training overall that made them effective conqerors of fear, death, and war. An Englishman being put into the role of archery utilising a formidable weapon such as the longbow after practising two hours if not more per week for his entire life would make him a deadly unit to be feared.

      ​@@SCARRIOR If you think the "idea" of Wales appeared in the 1930s, you're deluded and in urgent need of help. The ethnonym Welsh (Cymru) appeared in Cadwallon ap Cadfan in 633. Politically, Wales was unified 1057-1063 by Gruffydd ap Llywelyn. The appearance of the title "Prince of Wales" was in 1216, then bestowed upon Llywelyn Fawr at the Council of Aberdyfi. The title has been used to this day by English and British heirs since the conquest of Wales.

      Saying Wales never existed is the same as saying the Principality of Novgorod never existed. Or the Qin, Han, and Ming Empires never existed.
