Navarrese Company information


The Navarrese Company (Spanish: Compañía navarra; Basque: Nafarroako konpainia) was a company of mercenaries, mostly from Navarre and Gascony, which fought in Greece during the late 14th century and early 15th century, in the twilight of Frankish power in the dwindling remnant of the Latin Empire. "Navarrese Company" is a modern informal term for these soldiers and is thus somewhat inaccurate.
