Better C12th Byzantine cavalry

[davidharvey1]

Would somone kindly humour me - later C12 Byzantine lancers - reign of Manual Komnenos - are massively underpowered and will be beaten by any knights going. The primary sources suggest that they were in fact, as good as most knights, if slightly less impetuous, more resilient, after the mid C12th reforms and able to fight broadly as equals. Could someone kindly point me to a guide to how I modify the stats or create a C12th lancer category - thanks

I'm curious about this characterization. Choniates was rather full of praises of Latin knights. Kinnamos boasted about victory over German pilgrims during the 2nd crusade but also said (anachronically) Germans preferred to fight on foot.
