Lansquenet = λανσκενές (πληθ. λανσκενέδες)

Of German Landsknecht , attested since 1480, Knecht (servant) indicating a constraint with respect to the “employer” and Land (country or more certainly in this case countryside, flat) marking the origin of these Mercenaire S which did not come from the mountain, contrary to the Swiss stitchers. As of 1500, one finds deterioration Lanzknecht influenced by Lanze (lance, spade), the term Landsknecht is still in German modern within the meaning of mercenary (Söldner).
