Definitions

  1. Any of a class of German mercenaries of the 15th and 16th centuries, most of whom were pikemen and foot soldiers.

Word origin

Borrowed from French lansquenet, from German Landsknecht, from Lands (“of the land”) + Knecht (“servant”). Doublet of Landsknecht.

Used in a sentence

  • Ruthless killing, wanton strife / Add up to a lanzknecht’s life.
  • I have never really been outdoorsy enough to make a mercenary landsknecht, although their immense two-handed swords, flowing moustaches and puffed-silk slashed sleeves take some beating.
  • “I'm through with all pawn-games,” I laughed. “Come, let us have a game of lansquenet. Either I will take a farewell fall out of you or you will have your sevenfold revenge”.
