Mercenarii străini şi inovaţiile militare moderne timpurii în Europa central-răsăriteană. Armata lui Castaldo în Transilvania şi Banat.

  • Subiect: „In the middle of the 16th century, the House of Hapsburg extended for a while its domination over Transylvania and the Banat. The diplomatic negotiations were the main way to occupy those territories, but sending of military effectives was the way to keep them under the Hapsburgs’ control. Those, during 1551 and after also, more detachments of foreign mercenaries (Germans, Magyars, Spanish, Italians, Czechs, etc.), under General Givanni Batista Castaldo’s guidance arrived in Transylvania. The Hapsburgs’ army had to face lots of difficulties: a hard supply, lack of pays, difficult climatic conditions, and the local inhabitants’ hostility. Nevertheless the Austrian army short presence in Transylvania facilitated the military technology and know-how transferring from the western part towards the eastern part of the continent. The military structuring of the Principality of Transylvania benefited of the military architects’ work, who had been sent there by the House of Hapsburg, and of the armament (artillery and fire arms, especially) which the foreign mercenaries had brought there. The organizing of the first military permanent detachments that the Transylvanian princes would use the next decades was also considerable influenced by the Austrian army.”
