Not sure what you mean. Drużyna was the collective name of warrior bands that were payed for supported by earliest Polish princes and kings of Piast dynasty (10th/11th century). But there were several different types of soldiers in those units. To complicate it even more – drużyna has been used in Polish military throughout the times and is the polish word for modern 'squad'. Szlachta is the polish word for 'nobility', not any specific type of troops. Hyduk – I suppose you mean hajduk infantry. Registered cossacks – a political term much more that a military designation. Registered cossacks had many privileges when compared with their 'common' brethren and most of Cossack uprisings were caused by refusal of extention of that registry. My personal favorites are members of Squadron 303 ( link ) and Podhalanska brigade. ( link ) |

Not a time period I care about but the winged hussars look fantastic to me. Love them. |
