Vier Leger

15th Century

The glosses recommend that these guards should be known to you. Implicitly this means you should know how to use the guard positions yourself, as well as knowing what attack come from those positions of your opponent.

• Vom tag (from the day/roof)
• Ochs (ox)
• Pflug (plough)
• Alber (fool)

These guards are mentioned in the glosses, but lie outside those specified in the Vier Leger.

• Schranckhut (barrier guard)
• Langort/Langenort (longpoint)
• Kron (crown)
