Caballer is a Spanish term that refers to a knight or a horseman. The word is derived from the Spanish root word "caballo," which means horse. In medieval times, a caballer was a person of noble birth who was trained in the art of warfare and equitation. They were highly skilled in riding horses and wielding weapons such as swords, spears, and lances.
The role of the caballer was significant in medieval warfare, as they were part of the heavy cavalry and played a crucial role in battles and tournaments. They were often armored and rode powerful war horses, which made them formidable opponents on the battlefield. Their primary tasks involved charging at the enemy, breaking enemy formations, and providing support to the infantry.
In addition to their role in combat, caballers were also seen as symbols of chivalry and honor. They followed a strict code of conduct known as chivalry, which emphasized virtues such as bravery, loyalty, and courtesy. Caballers were expected to protect the weak, defend their honor, and show respect to women.
Today, the term caballer is still used to refer to a knight or a gentleman of noble demeanour. It carries connotations of bravery, gallantry, and nobility, symbolizing the ideals of chivalry and knightliness.
One who. Note.-In its modern sense of "political intrigue or plotting," cabal was first used in 1671, when, by "a whimsical coincidence," it was found to be formed by the initial letters of the names of the members of the Cabinet-Clifford, Arlington, Buckingham, Ashley, and Lauderdale.
