The Renaissance is a fascinating historical period that occurred over the 14th-17th Centuries. A cultural movement that saw resurgence in art, science, and literature, and a period marred by military conflict as the great European powers of the time warred for control and dominance. The use of gun powder and cannons for the first came to prominence and were used with the heavy cavalry from the previous centuries. As such, it is typically referred to as the "Age of Pike and Shot" as pikes and arquebus or muskets were two of the main weapons of the battlefield. First Legion launched the REN range with the Battle of Pavia in 1525, the climax of the Italian Wars between France and the Spanish Empire, which resulted in Spanish dominance of the Italian States for the next 200 years. REN001-REN030 cover the Spanish forces, which consisted heavily of the colorful mercenaries from Germany, called Landsknechts that were trained in Swiss pike formations. The black double-headed eagle of the Holy Roman Empire adorns the flag carried by this mercenary.
