EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Florian Geyer: The German Landsknechtfuhrer Whose Legacy Lives On in Modern Military History" Florian Geyer, born around 1490, was a renowned German Landsknechtfuhrer, or military commander, who served under Albrecht von Preussen during the early 16th century. This evocative image captures the essence of Geyer's military prowess and leadership, as he stands tall and resolute, clad in the distinctive Landsknecht armor of the time. Landsknechts were a unique type of infantry force that emerged during the late Middle Aages, characterized by their colorful, elaborate uniforms and distinctive weapons. Geyer's men, known as the "Geyer's Greens," were renowned for their disciplined formations, innovative tactics, and fearsome reputation on the battlefield. Geyer's military career spanned the tumultuous period of the German Peasants' War (1524-1525), during which he played a pivotal role in quelling the rebellion on behalf of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. Despite his success, Geyer was eventually captured and executed by the rebels in 1525. Despite his tragic end, Geyer's legacy endures. A modern German army corps bears his name, a testament to his enduring impact on military history. The Corps Florian Geyer, based in Munich, traces its lineage back to the Landsknecht regiments of the past, honoring the traditions and accomplishments of these early military formations. This striking print, from the extensive Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of warfare, courage, and leadership personified by the indomitable spirit of Florian Geyer.
