[Druzhina]

Some illustrations of 14th century German soldiers:
Große Heidelberger Liederhandschrift or Codex Manesse, early 14th century
The Manesse Codex is a book copied and illustrated between 1305 and 1340 in Zürich. It contains love songs in Middle High German by important poets, several of whom were famous rulers. The compilation of the codex was patronized by the Manesse family of Zürich, presumably by Rüdiger II Manesse.
Manesse 43v Count Wernher von Homberg, in combat against Italian City Militia
Manesse 184v Herr Hartmann von Aue, as a mounted knight
Manesse 229v Der Düring, defending a castle from crossbowmen
Manesse 359r Von Buwenburg, with German mounted crossbowmen
