Landsknecht, Day of Payment

Europe, early 16th century
As a rule, the lansquenet was engaged for half a year, which was as far as war planning and financial foresight went anyway. Moreover, the warlord naturally hoped for a short war, while the lansquenet hoped for the longest possible war. On average, a lansquenet received 4 guilders a month. Double mercenaries, drummers and pipers received 8 guilders, the field officer received 400 guilders.
With the pay, the lansquenet bought everything he could not take by force. Gambling, gluttony, drinking bouts and other amusements quickly diverted the money into his hands. A whole army of merchants, jugglers, swindlers, loot buyers, sutlers and whores looked forward to the pay as much as he did.
If the warlord could not pay, they looked for new service. Sometimes whole regiments defected to the enemy and re-enlisted. If there was peace, they travelled the country stealing, robbing and begging in search of a new profitable war as "gardening servants". If one was on the "Gart", one could of course end up on the gallows faster than die in battle.
Our series shows various lansquenets, the "Feldweibel" reading out the list, the "Pfennigmeister" and the scribe at the table, the money chest and the armour wagon with cash box.
The series "Fähnlein im Halt" 100/25/200 fits this for expansion.
