Hello guys, my English is quite poor, and I write using google translator, sorry.
I thought the arquebuses were light for use without fork, but I've seen in a pictorial representation which undoubtedly are spanish arquebusiers carrying arquebuses and forks. La cavalcata dell'Imperator Carlo V nel suo ingresso in Bologna. Venice c.1530 http://special-1.bl.uk/treasures/fes...x?strFest=0092 The last two images from the Entry of Charles V into Bologna in 1529 to be crowned Holy Roman Emperor: Italian text: Nel ultimo sono venuti, 6, bandiere di spagnoli li quali sono venuti co la ce- sarea maestà p mare li qualli vien sti- madi apresso 3000 , et veneno in or- denanza a 5 a 5 ,a chavalo et a pede. Et questo se fa notto a tutte le natione Stampata in venetia a di p.º luio. Spanish translation [by myself]: En el último vienen 6 banderas [compañías] de españoles, los cuales han venido con la cesárea majestad por mar, los cuales son estimados en unos 3000, y vienen en orden de 5 en 5, a caballo y a pie. Y esto "se hizo notar" a todas las naciones. Estampada en Venecia a primero de julio English google translation [sorry again]: In the last [image] six spaniard flags [companies] who have come with Caesarean Majesty by sea, which are estimated at about 3000, and come by 5 by 5, on horseback and on foot. And this was pointed out to all nations. Printed in Venice on July http://special-1.bl.uk/treasures/fes...92&strPage=029 Notice that the German arquebusiers - lansquenetes - are represented with arquebuses without forks: http://special-1.bl.uk/treasures/fes...92&strPage=009 Last edited by Cavalco; 30th September 2014 at 12:31 PM. |
