The Hundred Continuous Men-at-Arms were a distinguished cavalry company of the Guards of Castile, associated with the protection and service of the Crown during the reigns of the Catholic Monarchs and Charles I of Spain and V of Germany. Comprising one hundred men, this unit represented an elite force of heavy cavalry whose mounted soldiers served the monarch and could accompany him on military campaigns. Its history is connected with the great imperial wars of the 16th century and, in particular, the Battle of Pavia, fought on 24 February 1525. In this decisive encounter, the imperial forces of Charles V defeated the French army commanded by Francis I, who was taken prisoner. This TOY SOLDIER recalls the armoured horsemen who embodied the military power of the Spanish Monarchy at the dawn of the early modern era.
