Du Bos similarly discriminates between the character of the German Landsknechts and the Swiss. He says: “The Lansquenets were, generally speaking, much better made men, and much better looking in their armour, than the Swiss infantry; but they were incapable of discipline. Unlike the Swiss, they paid no obedience to their commanders, and had no friendship for their comrades.”—Ligue de Cambray, vol. i. p. 66.
