Tungt kavaleri var blevet introduceret i Europa i form af den persiske katafrakt i 400- og 500-tallet, men tilføjelsen af stigbøjlen i 600-tallet gjorde det muligt at overføre en store del af hesten kraft til slag eller stød i kamp.

Heavy cavalry had been introduced into Europe from the Persian cataphract of the 5th and 6th centuries, but the addition of the stirrup in the 7th allowed the full force of horse and rider to be used in combat.
