Charles Martel Frank list from Frankia PDF

In this list there are the Caballarii Scara 0-6 but no other mounted caballarii but there are Dismounted caballarii 0-20 is the mounted Average caballarii missing?

It just looks odd that there are no mounted equivalence to the dismounted.

Presumably reflects that Martel dismounted most of them in his big victory against the Moors.

Presumably based on that, and maybe other stuff that supports it as being the norm.

FWIW the 2018 and 2019 versions of the list were the same so it doesn't look like any entries accidentally went missing during an update.

I am pretty much convinced that Martel dismounted the vast majority with the 6 bases representing a small force retained on horses for breakthroughs. Allowing them all the option to be mounted would not be realistic in historical terms.

This is what was intended when the list was created.
