Doppelsöldner has entered the chat 😎

Doppelsöldner (“double-mercenaries”, “double-pay men”,[1] from German doppel- meaning double, Söldner meaning mercenary) were Landsknechte in 16th-century Germany who volunteered to fight in the front line, taking on extra risk, in exchange for double payment.

Probably need more crossbows because the Romans sorta forgot, according to Emperor Leo VI The Wise

The fact that archery has been completely neglected and fallen into disuse among the Romans has caused a great deal of harm nowadays.

Please tell me this is the German word for wielding a tire iron 🙏

Finally, a chance to talk about Michael the Deacon! I mean there’s not a lot to say but it’s really interesting that an Ethiopian deacon befriended Martin Luther and demonstrated to him there’s valid Christianity beyond the pope’s clutches.

Edit: and for extra Star Trek fun Ferengi and Negus are Ethiopian words for foreigner and king 🤓
