"Landsknecht", more literally "knave of the land/country" were a kind of
levy military, especially (IIRC) in the 30-year-war. And yes, their clothing
was colorful, as to hurt your eyes.
Landsknechte were often drawn in taverns, getting some poor drunk bloke to
sign (xxx, if analphabet) up to some army fighting in some war the new
Landsknecht probably didn't even know anything about.
