lansquenets (soldiers, <people in military occupations>, ... People (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Mercenary soldiers of a certain class in the German and other continental armies in the 16th and 17th centuries. The term originally applied to the serfs brought into the field by the nobles within the territories of the Empire, in contradistinction to the Swiss mercenaries. In time this distinction became obsolete, and the designation connoted a soldier armed with a particular kind of equipment, of which a lance was part.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Huursoldaten van een bepaalde klasse in het Duitse leger en andere legers op het vasteland van Europa in de 16de en 17de eeuw. De term was oorspronkelijk van toepassing op de slaven die door edelen werden ingezet binnen de gebieden van Heilige Roomse Rijk, ter onderscheid van de Zwitserse huursoldaten. Op den duur raakte dit onderscheid verouderd en werd de term gebruikt voor soldaten met een bepaalde uitrusting, waar een lans deel van uitmaakte.
