Elite mercenaries, originally from Aragon, armed with javelins and light armour.
These warriors from the north east of Spain have a fearsome reputation, and are sought after as mercenaries throughout the Mediterranean. Their fiercely flung javelins can pierce right through a mailed man, and despite their light equipment, these men are not shy about getting stuck in with their spears, when their missiles are exhausted.

Catalans are available after 1300.
