yuhimebarbara:sexecutive-outcums:Winged Hussar reenactors, from here“The Polish Hussars (/həˈzɑr/, /həˈsɑr/, or /hʊˈzɑr/; Polish: Husaria), or Winged Hussars, were one of the main types of the cavalry in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland (later also introduced into the army of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania) between the 16th and 18th centuries. When this cavalry type was first introduced by the Serbian and Hungarian mercenary horsemen in the beginning of the 16th century, they served as light cavalry banners in the Polish army; by the second half of the 16th century and after Stephen Báthory’s reforms, hussars had been transformed into heavily armored shock cavalry. Until the reforms of the 1770s, the husaria banners were considered the elite of thePolish–Lithuanian Commonwealth cavalry.” -- source link
