Armoured companion
text:
Armoured companion was a medium-cavalryman in 16th to 18th century Poland, named after their chainmail armor. These units were the second-most-important cavalry in the Polish-Lithuanian army, after the hussars. Most pancerni were recruited from the middle or lower classes of the Polish nobility. They were organized into companies, with each company consisting of 60 to 200 horsemen. The Cossacks were renamed armored cavalry in 1676 as the Cossack name was associated with the Khmelnytsky Uprising.
