Granadine heavy cavalryman, mid-13th century

Granadine heavy cavalryman, mid-13th century
Ian Heath based his Granadine heavy cavalryman, mid-13th century on the manuscripts of the Cántigas of Alfonso X.
Perhaps on a combination of these images:
Panel 4, Cantiga 63: Muslim soldiers under Almanzor (al-Mansur) attack San Esteban de Gormaz, in 989 CE
Panel 5, Cantiga 165: The next day, the Sultan ordered his troops to take the city
Panel 5, Page 1 Cantiga 187: The King of Granada immediately rallied his troops and headed for the castle. He forced the castellan to demand its surrender, but the defenders refused to give in.
Page 2 Cantiga 187: The Statue that Defended a Castle

or is there another cantiga that shows this type of heavy cavalryman?

I don't want to come off as an ass but I think I will because apparently no one other than me seems to 'mind' this (and mind is already a strong word I believe) or maybe no one actually reads this forum anymore and there is no activity anyways, but what do these have to do with the singleplayer gameplay of Medieval 2? Isn't there a forum for historical stuff?

You may be mistaken. This is in the "Medieval 2: Total War" sub-forum.
Medieval 2: Total War - a historically based, modable game.

The things you are linking all over the forum still have nothing to do with the game. Can I link lots of pictures of swords because swords are featured in this game, so it must be related? Or better yet, naked women! They have women in this game =X
