Some confusion here, perhaps? Speidel's book is about the Equites Singulares, or imperial horse guards, and as mentioned above it doesn't concern the Equites Stablesiani, who were a different unit altogether (or group of units...)
There were Stablesiani units in the comitatus, but they don't seem to be 'bodyguard' or elite cavalry in particular. One group of them ended up garrisoning the shore fort at Burgh.
Does anyone know what 'stablesiani' actually means?
