Mobile javelin and spear armed cavalry
Although largely a French vassal, the Bretons remained semi-independent for much of the middle ages by transferring loyalties between the Normans, English and French depending on the situation. These men fight much as their Celtic ancestors would have-as javelin armed light cavalry. However, they have learned a few things from thier Frankish neighbours and they can also engage with spears once their javelins are exhausted. Breton Light Cavalry are recruited in the region of France until 1220.
