Recently I listened to a nice history lecture about Emperor Maximilian try to form a Landsknecht (foot infantry) army in the 15th century. (Eventually, he didn't succeed 100%). But the story is very illustrative and interesting. Several episodes of it are simply stunning! For example, Emperor dismounted himself from his horse (!) and together with his troops, at the head of a column of course, entered the city... on foot!!!! showing everyone, including the nobility and knights, that pedestrian infantry is also okay, that fighting on foot is not something unrespectful and unimaginable for knights... (And it happened regularly, not once). Thats a very interesting example from history, confirming your thesis.
