After the Norman conquests of Sicily and Southern Italy, the Norman counts of Sicily chose to leave their newly acquired Muslim subjects alone and even treated them well. Although not Christians, the Muslims of Sicily continued to maintain their penchant for light skirmisher tactics, something which was not lost on their Sicilian overlords and their Hohenstaufen successors. Although Norman knights or milites would dominate the armies of Norman Sicily, Arabo-Norman Rizico were also recruited to make up numbers. These were basically all-comers, who were paid solely in loot and raised for the purpose of military campaigning.
