The following year, Louis marched into Germany to assist Vicomte de Turenne. The pair fought inconclusively against the Imperial forces at the Battle of Freiburg. The two French commanders took on the Imperial army again in 1645 at Nördlingen, but again the battle was indecisive, though it achieved the French strategic objective to clear Bavaria of Imperial forces for a while at least.

From 1650 to 1653, he consorted with the Spanish and fought against Turenne at the Battle of Faubourg St Antoine. It was at the Battle of the Dunes in 1658 that Louis and Turenne met again, with Turenne winning a decisive victory, leading to the Treaty of the Pyrenees between Spain and France. After his reconciliation with the French crown, Louis fought alongside Turenne against the Dutch in 1672 before personally taking on the Prince of Orange at the bloody Battle of Seneffe in 1674.

The Janissary Corps was founded in 1383 by Sultan Murad I to provide him with well-disciplined and loyal troops for his expansionist campaigns. They were recruited from Christian vassal states of the Ottoman Empire in Europe by the ‘devsirme’ system of taking young boys aged 6-14 years and converting them to Islam. These children were indoctrinated and raised in an environment of harsh discipline and training, ideal for the creation of a fighting force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Corps was divided into ‘Ortas’, the equivalent of a battalion, and at the height of the Janissaries’ powers in the late 1500’s there were 196 ortas. These were divided between frontier troops (Cemaat), Sultan’s Household and Bodyguard formations (Beyliks), provincial reserves (Sekbans) and cadet troops (Ajemi). Each Orta was led by a Cobaci or ‘Soup Maker’, a title that indicated humility before the Sultan, and an Asci Usta (Master Cook). Culinary traditions played an important role throughout the Janissary Corps as successful leaders should be able to provide for their men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJanissaries discipline and impressive war record notwithstanding, they were also at the forefront of many military advances. They wore uniforms and distinctive headgear at a time when army uniforms were practically unheard of. They were the first military units to march to music, and also the first to widely use firearms. The fact they were salaried fighters and lived in organised barracks was also unusual from a western standpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe social status of the Janissary Corps was also noteworthy; being neither free men nor ordinary slaves they created their own social class. The Agha, head of the Corps, was one of the most powerful men in the Ottoman Empire, and over the years the Janissaries came to fill important government roles and trades in society. This increase in power was to prove their downfall as they effectively became kingmakers, killing Sultans who they did not approve of and becoming a corrupt parody of their earlier glories and a law unto themselves. The end for the Janissary Corps came in 1826, when Sultan Mahmud II initiated the ‘Auspicious Incident’ which saw the execution of thousands of Janissaries and the disbandment of the Corps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis boxed set provides 24 metal miniatures that can represent a Janissary Orta, 12 miniatures with firearms and 12 with melee weapons, that highlight the both the uniformity and diversity of the Janissary formations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 metal Janissaries armed with sword and shield (includes a command group of officer, standard bearer, drummer and sergeant).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 metal Janissaries armed with arquebus, led by an officer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic bases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMiniature sculpted by Ronnie Shilton.

The famous ‘wings’ were developed to increase the fear caused by their charge; the sight of galloping horsemen with 20 foot-long lances and massive wings was a sight designed to provoke terror in even the most doughty footsoldier. On the battlefield, groups of hussars would fight together as units, known as kopie. The Winged Hussars flourished during the 1600s, winning dramatic battles against Poland’s many foes.
