How was the Hungarian Infantry organized at Mohacs? Was it's compostion the same of the "Black Army" of the late XV Century, with is armati and clipeati pavissiers? Did they already employ haiduk infantry? Also, how would they be clothed? In a typical "renaissance fashion", or something more "eastern"? |

My understanding is that the Hungarians employed some landsknecht mercenaries, who would have been dressed in their usual flamboyant styles, but any native infantry present might have been dressed in a bit more conventional fashion. As for the hajduks, those tend to appear later in the 16th/17th century. |

Any clues if the native infantry was composed of archers or pikemen and arquebusiers? Also, any clues on their dress would be welcome |
