First real army of zombies in history!

Who are the zombies to know today, even children, because every now and then on TV show movies in which decaying "body" attack healthy people.

About 8-9 hundred years ago, the first "zombies" shocked and put to flight the army of opponents. And how not to run from the battlefield, if go are a crowd of leprosy knights crusaders who have nothing to lose.They know that they needed to live a little and don't fear death, they feel no pain and want to die with honor utyanuv for a to the light more enemies.

Infected at that time leprosy could be anyone in contact with an already sick person. Patients were shunned, tried to isolate, expelled from the cities and villages in order that the infection did not extend further.

Sick leprosy knights crusaders lived out their age in the leprosy, one of which was the Order of St. Lazarus once organized on the basis of the same hospital. They died long, hard and when they were offered to choose how they want to die, in beds immobilized or with honor surfactants in battle, they preferred, of course, the second option.

The Osmania hordes would have expected someone else, but not knights-zombies that looks more than awesome. Knights put on armor and taking broadswords went fearlessly on the enemy. Not always they won, there were defeats. Their campaign is not to say that they were successful, but the fact that they were very afraid of the opponents - no doubt!

Sometimes it seems to me that the army of the knights of the order of St. Lazarus has become the prototype of the very zombie armies that so are afraid all people!
