Miquelet (militia)
''Miquelets'' or ''Micalets'' ((:mikəˈɫɛts) ; (スペイン語:Migueletes)) were irregular Catalan and Valencian mountain light troops. They enjoyed a certain prominence in the wars in the Iberian Peninsula during the 17th and 18th centuries, and in peace seem to have on occasion plundered travellers.
==Overview==
The name is a diminutive of Michael; it is claimed it comes from Miquel or Miquelot de Prats, a Catalan mercenary captain in the service of Cesare Borgia. The term was used for many unconnected groups of Catalans who took up arms in many wars, as well as in banditry.〔''Dictionnaire de l'Académie française'', 5th Edition, 1798: ''Miquelet. sm Il se dit d'une sorte de bandits qui vivent dans les Pyrénées. Les Miquelets sont fort à craindre pour les voyageurs.'' ("''Miquelet''. A type of bandit who lives in the Pyrenees. The Miquelets are strongly to be feared by travellers."〕 The ''Miquelets'' were maintained at the parish level, not by the central or the provincial governments, and as they had to turn out for duty on sound of the village alarm-bell (''someten'') they are frequently called ''somatenes''.
