+====== Khawla bint al-Azwar al-Kindiyyah ======
+During the battle against Heraclius the Byzantine and his 200,000 soldiers, Khawla and her 3 captains, Alfra, Oserrah, and Wafeira, charge into battle and kick ass. Khawla is portrayed as "the black knight." WHen it is asked how women came to be trained as great warriors, Oserrah exclaims, "The pegs" (217). This is a reference to the above and the women training to fight with tent pegs. Khawla was a Bedouin, so it is likely she was trained as a warrior since childhood.
