Mercenaries in Thirteen Years War 1454-66
It was the first war that Polish levy of nobility played minor role. Prussian States paid for mercenaries to fight their former Teutonic Order lords. Also Polish King Casimir preferred to use soldiers as they were more disciplined than nobles.
Bohemian and German Mercenaries served both sides. Order Knights were not able to pay enough. Poles and Prussian States were even able to buy Marienburg – Teutonic Capital – from underpaid Bohemian Mercenaries
