When it comes to marshal's skills, which does affect soldiers on horseback. Is it just the cavalry-master skill, or does also the weapon the cavalry use count? Say, for example the Pronoias, are they affected both by cavalry-master and spear-master skills?

And what about Feudal Knights? They require a "Master Swordsmithy," yet in the tactical battle view, the little icon, and the unit description all show or mention lances (same as spears in European cavalry use, no?).

I guess that the answer would be: all cavalry units are cavalry, ranged cavalry i.e. horse archers also benefit from bow skills. Also the Marshal's knights ONLY benefit from jousting and jousting ONLY benefits the Marshal's knights, not Feudal knights. Also I think Hobilars, Mameluks and other spear cavalry have spear bonuses vs. other cavs. I don't know if sword cavalry benefits from the Marshal's Sword Mastery.
