Landsknecht Guild

I got this article off the bibliography of a paper I heard delivered back in the spring:

http://livinghistorypodcast.co…..ribner.pdf

Please let me know if anyone has trouble with the link.

It is a look at the court records of an area of Germany and a look at the court cases that were brought against vagrants, or wanderers, many of them Landsknecht. It has a bunch of great stories about real Landsknecht, it also can be read as a list of the reasons why people joined the Landsknecht.

It is an academic article, but not too dry, I hope other folks will let me know about the bits that struck them as useful to us.

Julie, I think you should put up a review on your Magda blog, let me know if you want me to write up anything.
