The analysis

The claim that mounted soldiers represented a decisive military advancement during the Middle Ages is well supported by historical analyses in the literature (e.g., Seshat global data on horse riding as a technological driver, medieval cavalry tactics, and specific historical accounts of mounted combat efficacy). There is no evidence in the retrieved set refuting the military significance of medieval cavalry.
