Essay

Discussing the impact of the armies on the countryside in the German countryside in 1634, Martin Mallinger said: "They [the soldiers] sallied out every day, several companies strong, to seek out and plunder all the nearby valleys in the Black Forest. They not only drove off all the livestock-cows, oxen, calves, geese, horses-many hundred head, but they took all the grains and oats as well, many hundred quarters, not just as food for themselves and their horses but also large quantities to sell in the city." Discuss Mallinger's quotation and how it reflects the concerns of peasants and their day-to-day survival.
