RENAISSANCE - LANDSKNECHTS - PIKE & SHOTTE

LANDSKNECHTS OFFICERS!

The term, Landsknecht, literally means ‘Land Servant’ or ‘Servant of the Country’ and seems to have been coined sometime around 1470. As a result, it takes a real soldier to lead the Landsknecht into battle, fighting for the simple notion of money.

The brutality of these mercenary forces and especially the carnage of close combat against Swiss forces or opposing Landsknechts was a shock to most who hired them.
