Definition
- 1Soldado de un cuerpo de caballería de origen serbio, adaptado luego por húngaros y polacos. Originalmente miembros de unidades de caballería ligera, se desarrollaron luego como fuerzas pesadas armadas con lanza, la base del ejército regular de varias naciones del Este europeo. En Occidente mantuvieron un armamento ligero, destinándose sobre todo a operaciones de reconocimiento, escaramuzas y otras en las que la maniobrabilidad resultara crucial. Su espectacular uniforme tradicional, que conservaron mucho después de que otras fuerzas adoptaran una indumentaria moderna, contribuyeron a producir una imagen romántica y fogosa del húsar que fue dominante en la literatura e imaginería decimonónica.
