A combined French and Venetian force under Odet de Foix, Vicomte de Lautrec, was decisively defeated by an Imperial–Spanish and Papal army under the overall command of Prospero Colonna. Lautrec then withdrew from Lombardy, leaving the Duchy of Milan in Imperial hands.Originally organized by Emperor Maximilian I and Georg von Frundsberg, the "Landsknecht" formed the bulk of the Holy Roman Empire's Imperial Army from the late 1400s to the early 1600s, fighting in the Habsburg-Valois wars, the Habsburg-Ottoman wars, and the European wars of religion. The Billingsgate was known as good and sometimes gruesome soldiers. When they were not paid well enough they easily started to loot. Lansquenet is an archaic variant of Landsknecht. Lansquenet is a banking game played with cards, named after the French spelling of the German word "Landsknecht" (servant of the land, or country); the lansquenet drum is a type of field drum used by these soldiers."Series 77 Miniatures" was founded by Pat Bird and John Tassel to produce 77mm size miniatures (hence the company name); with their only fantasy line released around November 1979.
