Unser liebe Fraue |Landsknecht song||English Translation|

The Landsknecht were a Germany mercenary unit of pikemen known for their prowess with their pikes, and later, also their rifles. They started off as a mainly Catholic force, but later on as the Protestant Reformation surged, Protestant Landsknecht mercenary units were also found. This created an interesting dynamic with both Catholic and Protestant Landsknecht fighting each other at battles such as the famous Battle of Pavia. The Landsknecht also had a role in the Siege of Vienna, defending the holy city from the beginning of the struggle against the Ottoman forces until the end.
