These two are mounted skirmishers from early medieval North Africa such as those that assisted the Muslim conquest of Spain in the early eighth century AD. One of the North African ethnic groups recruited in the Islamic armies of the time, the Zenata, would lend their name to the terms “genitour” and “jinete”, the latter referring to horsemen in Spanish. More recently, the Genitours have become memorialized as one of the unique units the Berber civilization can train in the real-time strategy game Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.
