| 16th century | Seven bell tents, one pavilion and one wedge partially obscured. | "If a Landsknecht had committed a crime and succeeded in evading the Provost by reaching one of the guns in the artillery park, he automatically had the right of sanctuary for three days. As long as the fugitive remained within a radius of 24 paces from the gun the Provost could not arrest him. If this law was broken then the master-general of the ordinance had the right to withdraw his artillery train from the army. (Deiss: 'Das deutsche Soldatenbuch)." | Miller, D., The Landsknechts, Osprey Publishing, 1976, p. 23. |
