Here I show you the most common weapons used by the landsknechts in the 15th and 16th centuries. Further explanations about handling and use can be found in other videos on my channel. I would be happy if you would leave a subscription and look around there. All movement patterns are results of my research with original sources about military theorie and fight-books of the middle ages and the renaissance.
