Re: Living shields in the XVIIth century ??
Henry Morgan did something similar to the Spanish garrison at Portobelo, I think.. could be wrong though.Recently I have read that during the siege of Birze ( 07.09.1625) Swedes used local Lithuanian peasants to protect themselves against enemy (Polish-Lithuanian garrison) firepower... Since I always check every event if possible I am asking if any of Swedish or Finnish members have heard about it?
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
