Wars and Soldiers in the Early Reign of Louis XIV Volume 7 Part 3: Armies of the German States 1655-1690 from our Century of the Soldier 1618-1721 series is now available!
After the Peace of Westphalia, German states built disciplined armies, supplying mercenaries across Europe. Prussia became the leading military state, yet Germany remained divided and vulnerable. Its armies developed within a system balancing security, internal conflict, and political stability, prioritising defence over aggression.
This study, based on extensive archival research, is the first to examine the Holy Roman Empire’s armies in a single volume. Bruno Mugnai’s final work on seventeenth-century German forces explores recruitment, conflicts, and the diverse military structures. Detailed appendices cover orders of battle, regiments, and the hiring of troops to foreign powers.
