The Burmese emerged as a nation under a dynamic ruler called Anawratta
during the mid 11th Century AD. The following 200 years saw recurring
wars with the Mon(Tai) peoples together with raids into what is now
Southern China. These raids provoked a series of attacks by the Yuan
mongols which eventually overthrew the ruling dynasty and captured the
capital Pagan. The Burmese armies fielded a large proportion of cavalry
and they also put great faith(sometimes mis-guided) in their war elephants.
The infantry was composed of a general tribal levy armed with spear,
bow or crossbow. These were backed on occasion by a more professional
palace guard. More information is provided in our book 'Armies of Medieval
Burma' see HERE for more details.

The high point of the Khmer(cambodian) empire lasted from
the early 11th to 13th Century AD, during this period the country was
involved in constant wars against the Vietnamese(Cham), Tai and Burmese.
We have a fairly clear picture of the appearance of Khmer armies from
temple frescos such as those at Ankor Wat and they seem to have been comprised
of a mixture of missile and shock infantry backed by cavalry and a large
Elephant corps. More information is provided in our book 'Armies of Medieval
Burma' see HERE for more details.
The Avars, otherwise known as the Juan Juan, were a Turkish
speaking people who arrived in the West in the late 6th Century AD under
the great Khan Baian. They carved out an empire in Central Southern Europe
having fought Franks, Bulgars, Slavs abd Gepids as well as allying with
the Sassanids against the Byzantines. In early Avar history, they are
said to have displaced the Huns from their homelands in Mongolia and caused
them to migrate westwards. They themselves went on to settle in North
West China, only to be driven out ad forced west by the successful revolt
of their Turkish vassals. The Avars disappear from world history after
their final defeat at the hands of Charlemagne in 796AD.
