Byzantines had cataphracts. They were not called knights of course which is the english term. But like european knights or roman equites, they were heavily armed mounted warriors from the ranks of land owners/ nobility, because the armours were freaking expensive.

So basically they were the warrior caste of the byzantine empire, like knights or samurais.
