By Fire and Sword II: Winged Hussars

The winged hussars were the pride of the Polish army and the elite of European cavalry. They consisted of the crème de la crème of Polish nobility and had excellent weapons, training, horses and uniforms. Their exceptional capabilities based of traits found in both Eastern and Western cavalry. The hussars could charge and maneuver, fight in both close and open order, had good discipline, received individual training, and rode excellent war horses. The hussars would usually charge against an enemy with their lances and after "breaking their lances", the hussars drew their long, straight swords (estoc), backswords or sabers. Winged hussars also used horseman's picks, maces, musketoons and pistols. At first, the winged hussars wore an amalgamation of plate armor combined with chainmail but by the times of Jan III Sobieski they used a special type of scale armor (karacena). The hussars also wore lobster pot helmets.
