Definition
A type of light cavalry soldier or a mounted soldier wearing light armor, used historically in some European armies.
Etymology
From Hungarian or Turkish military terminology, possibly related to 'gallop' or to Ottoman cavalry traditions. The term appears in 16th-18th century European military contexts.
Kelly Says
Galapees were the light cavalry version of heavier armored knights—they relied on speed and maneuverability rather than heavy armor, which made them perfect for reconnaissance and skirmishes on open terrain.
