Георг фон Фрундсберг - отец ландскнехтов.

Georg von Frundsberg almost died at the hands of the Swiss, then served with them, but took revenge twenty years later, personally hacking to death their commander. He participated in the capture of the French king and defeated an army twice as large as his troops. The emperor himself knighted him right on the battlefield, and the landsknechts called him their "father". Having gone through many bloody battles, he suffered a stroke from frustration and worry when these same beloved landsknechts rebelled. He treated himself with a fox boiled in oil, he definitely got to Valhalla, and now a fun festival is held in his honor. #freelancers #landsknecht #germany #renaissance #middle ages #history #battle
