l'armée Khazar

[Invité barbaros pacha]

Salut,

je cherche des infos sur l'armée Khazar, ce sont des semi-nomades Turcs qui se sont convertis au judaisme, disposent-ils d'infanterie? ou leur armée est basé que sur la cavalerie comme presque tous les armées nomades?

Comment on ont-ils constituer un grand empire? leur technique de guerre, stratégie..etc..

merci bien... ;)

Dans le livre d'Ahmad ibn al-fadlan (ceux qui ont vues le film 13eme guerrier se rapeleront) bah dans son livre "voyage aux pays des Bulgares" au roi des Bulgares (كتاب إلى ملك الصقالبة) il parlé d'eux mais pas de leur armée, enfaite le roi des Bulgares envoye une lettre au Calife suite a la menace des Khazars et son souhait de se convertir a l'Islam, le Calife lui envoye de l'argent pour batir une forteresse, l'ambassade et le secreatire qui est Ahmad, sinon pas plus d'info sur l'armée Khazar...

Vu qu'ils avaient des relations avec Byzance (mariages, économie, etc...) il est fort probable que leur armée se soit inspirée de ce modèle ?

Khazar Heavy Cavalry Warrior

The Judaic biblical rule to wear Peyot (long hair at the temples) found resonance with the hairstyles of the Hunnish and Turkic warriors. It is likely that the Peyot worn by this Jewish warrior, and still worn by many Jews today, developed into their particular fashion through the cross-fertilisation of Jewish and Steppes Nomad cultural norms.

When the nobility of the Viking Russ (later to merge with the Slavs to become Russians and Ukranians) began to assert power in the region, they copied these Peyot -- wearing them as a mark of power. (An expanded note on the Peyot)

The armour of the warrior is based on contemporary descriptions, art and artifacts from the area of the Khazar Kaganate. The belt, decorated with medalions which often signified tribal identity and status, is a mark of the Turkic warrior. It too was later adopted by the Russ in their efforts to establish legitimacy in the region.

The Khazars were among the first tribes to fully adopt the curved Saber in preference to the straight sword. The preference for the Saber over other styles spread through the rest of the world, last to be adopted in Napoleonic era Europe. It is somewhat ironic, in the face of the almost complete replacement of the Sword by the Saber in Russia of the later Middle Ages, that the Russian authors of the "Primary Chronicle" ("Povest Vremenikh Let") derided the Khazar saber, extoling the virtue of the Russian (Scandinavian) straight, double-edged sword.

(NOTE: The Saber illustrated here has details that are more apropriate to later Persian Sabers. There are plans to modify the drawing accordingly.)
