Are there any suitable proxies for Byzantines - thematic and tagmatic cavalry, skutatoi, Varangians, etc?

I am looking at add 11th/12thC Byzantines to the range in the near future - ie measured in months, not years!

 


I have plans.   I am dangerous when I have plans...

I didn't know that Southern Italians were called Norman  :)

 


Through the travail of the ages Midst the pomp and toil of war Have I fought and strove and perished Countless times upon this star.
So as through a glass and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names but always me.
So forever in the future Shall I battle as of yore, Dying to be born a fighter But to die again once more.

Surely, not all of them would be called Norman. That would be too confusing.

What about the command. "Independant, Fire at Will". How do you know which one is Will?????    (:

Wasn`t Tancred DeHautvilles family in Southern Italy, Therefore being Normans in S Italy. Was it Robert DeHautville?

Possibly wrong as was right off the top of my head.
