Text:
“Ein rechtes Wort zu seiner Zeit,
ein scharfes Schwert in wildem Streit,
ein guter Trunk dagegen
der ziemt sich allerwegen!”
(The right word at the right time,
a sharp sword in a wild dispute,
against them a good drink
is always the right thing to do.)
A Landsknecht was a feudal serf used for military purposes by his master. These “soldiers” were often traded between landowners and were, in a sense, the equivalent of modern mercenaries, with the important difference that they were not free to choose their employer.
Price Range: $125-$175
