    Hi!


    The hungarian hussars on the pictures shown is not XVII, but XVIII century (Deak Hussars already founded in 1696).

    1696 is the 17th century.

    Yes, hussars armed with lances was transformed to light cavalry devoid lances in the late seventeenth century, (southern Europe) Here is a cool site about this: http://www.thelordz.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4947

    Yes, brilliant insight, 1696 is indeed the 17th century. No doubt! :-)
    But to the very end. And I continue to say that the knights of the 17 th century did not look like the picture.
