German Cavalier 1630's
"A Wee Drop"
1/9 scale bust
Sculpted by: Pavol Ovecka
Box art painted by: Ernesto Reyes
Item: PO03
The Thirty Years' War was a series of wars in Central Europe between 1618 and 1648 lasting for thirty years. It was one of the longest, most destructive conflicts in European history.
Initially a war between Protestant and Catholic states in the fragmenting Holy Roman Empire, it gradually developed into a more general conflict involving most of the great powers of Europe, becoming less about religion and more a continuation of the France–Habsburg rivalry for European political pre-eminence.
The Thirty Years' War saw the devastation of entire regions, with famine and disease significantly decreasing the population of the German and Italian states, the Kingdom of Bohemia, and the Low Countries. The war also bankrupted most of the combatant powers. Both mercenaries and soldiers in armies were expected to fund themselves by looting or extorting tribute, which imposed severe hardships on the inhabitants of occupied territories.
The Thirty Years' War ended with the treaties of Osnabrück and Münster, part of the wider Peace of Westphalia.
Our Cavalier has found looting the local brew to his liking and is helping himself to “a wee drop” .
Parts: Torso, head, cheek plates (2), right arm, left arm, mug/hand, mug lid, pitcher, sash, pole axe, sword hilt, sword hilt parts (3), sword scabbard
