Early Arab ConquestHistorical NotesThis covers the wars of the Prophet and his immediate successors, the khalifs Abu Bakr and Umar from the conquest of Mecca until the widespread availability of horses.The standard formation until 638 was an infantry centre and two infantry wings, with any cavalry grouped into an extra command used for outflanking or as a reserve. Infantry are described in contemporary accounts as swordsmen, often mailed, and usually as resisting stubbornly rather than charging wildly.

Historical NotesWith the beginning of the Moorish conquest in the 8th century, the region of Asturia became a refuge for Christians, and in 722, a de facto independent kingdom was established, the Regnum Asturorum. In the 10th century, the Kingdom of Asturias gave way to the Kingdom of León. This list covers the Christian armies in the northwest of modern Spain from the founding of the Asturian kingdon in 718 to the death of Bermudo III in the battle of Tamarón in 1037.

Arab IndianHistorical NotesBetween 710 and 712 an Arab force penetrated the River Indus from the sea and conquered most of the regions of Sind and Kutch. The area remained under Arab control until an Arab army was defeated in 833. Islam after this time only survived in two small states, Mansurah and Multan. Both states were finally suppressed by Qutb-ud-Din Aibek, the founder of the Delhi Sultanate.

GhaznavidHistorical NotesIn 962 Alp Tigin, a Turkic ghulam general, seized power at Ghazna. His son Mahmud the Great conquered the remaining Samanid territories, much of Northern India and territory from the Buwayhids. By 1027 the empire stretched from south of the Caspian Sea to India. The western territories were lost, first to the Seljuk Turks and then to the Ghurids so that only the Indian possessions remained. The last of these was lost in 1187.
