Interesting pike and shot picture
Full picture and description. Paulus Lesire (1611-1654)
| The departure of Queen Henrietta Maria of England of Scheveningen on 26 February 1643. (Coll. Stockholms Auktionsverk, Stockholm) |
| Paulus Lesire (1611-1654) painted also the departure of Henrietta Maria. This painting depicts many citizens, noblemen, soldiers and the Hague shooters. Probably the shooters from The Hague are in a 'daily' dressed in uniform and the painting gives an image of the second room Queen Henriette Maria on February 26, 1643. |

Upper Austrian Peasants' War 1626
Upper Austrian peasant war of 1626 - Wikipedia
 |
| Pappenheim was sent to deal with it |
The Upper Austrian peasant war (German: Oberösterreichischer Bauernkrieg) of 1626 was a rebellion led by farmers whose goal was to free Upper Austria from Bavarian rule. The motive (found in the Frankenburger Würfelspiel of 1625) was an escalation of the Bavarian Electorate's attempt to press the country into the Catholic faith at the time of the Thirty Years' War.
