Summary/Abstract: Similarly to the stories of regiments popular in the 19th and 20th centuries we also have sources about the hiring, equipment and everyday lives of the mercenaries and companies in the service of the Habsburg Empire at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. Among the most interesting of these is the story of the dragoon companies hired and employed during the final period of the Fifteen Years War. In my study I am examining their fate from their hiring and muster through the payment of their salaries and lack thereof, up to the disbandment of the companies.
