The Venetians first used stratioti in their campaigns against the Ottomans and, from c. 1475, as frontier troops in Friuli. Starting from that period, they began to almost entirely replace the Venetian light cavalry in the army of the Republic of Venice. Apart from the Albanian stradioti, Greek and Italian ones were also deployed in the Battle of Fornovo. The mercenaries were recruited from the Balkans, mainly Christians but also some Muslims. -Wikipedia-
