While the mercenaries had the rough appeal of adventurers, they themselves longed for the caring arms and the warmth in bed only a woman could provide. Landsknechts and women were an inseparable pairing. Be it because of love or lust, the women of the baggage train or the camp and the soldiers frequently found together. In this video we are going to explore the relationships between women and men in and around a Landsknechts-camp. This is how modern historiography explains landsknechts love.
