Light cavalry, historically Hungarians who fought for Poland as mercenaries. Their value in combat became realized and countries all over Europe started to employ regiments of Hussars. A Hussar during the 18th and 19th century wore no armor, instead wearing a dolman underneath a pelisse, a short-waisted overjacket that was slung over the shoulder like a cape, and a shako. Hussars used light sabers and did not carry any firearms or lances except officers who would keep a pistol. Hussar's were famous throughout the world for their dashing and cavalier manner, especially in America where stories of French Hussars fascinated Americans. But Hussars in reality were rather rude, brash people and were also known to get drunk and start fights in taverns and inns. But their bravery in battle was unquestioned. They would just get rowdy and often times demand food from villages they passed through. Often disguising it by seducing the town's womenfolk. Hussars were also mustachioed, in fact, British hussars were the only mustachioed troops in the whole British army.
