A treatise from this present-day country describes a trial by combat whereby a club-wielding man stands in a pit fighting a woman armed with a stone in a sling. This was the country of origin for a medieval treatise which depicts a woman teaching her student to use a sword and buckler. That early fencing treatise, once kept in the Tower of London, is known as I.33. The "plough," "ox," and "from the day" guard positions were taught by a man from this country, Paulus Kal. In the 16th century, some of this country's mercenaries were paid double forwielding large two-handed swords. Some of those mercenary pikemen fought in the Black Band, a group of renegade soldiers from this country who fought in both the Battle of Marignano and the Battle of Pavia in the service of the French king. For 10 points, name this country which used combat manuals known as fechtbuch, and where Georg von Frundsberg led the landsknechts.
