�Ein nett Sch�tzchen, ein gro� Gl�schen, ein fein Bierchen, das ist so mein Pl�sierchen.�
(A nice sweetheart, a large glass, a fine beer, those are my pleasures.)

Landsknechte were feudal serfs used for military purposes by their masters. 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: $75-$100
