  • Martin Schwartz (* um 1450; † 16. Juni 1487) war ein deutscher Söldnerführer, der bei der Schlacht von Stoke in den Rosenkriegen starb, während er für Lambert Simnel, einen Hochstapler, der behauptete, dem Hause York zu entstammen, kämpfte. Schwartz wurde in Augsburg als Sohn eines Schusters geboren. Erstmals erwähnt wird er 1475 im Heer Karls des Kühnen bei der Belagerung von Neuss. Im Jahre 1486 wurde er von Maximilian I., dem späteren Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reichs, angeheuert, um die Burgundischen Niederlande von den Franzosen zu befreien und eine Rebellion in Flandern zu unterdrücken. Für seine Dienste in der Burgundischen Niederlande wurde er von Maximilian zum Ritter geschlagen. Als John de la Pole, 1. Earl of Lincoln, erfuhr, dass die englischen Gerichte den Anspruch Simnels untermauerten, suchte jener den Hof seiner Tante Margarete von Burgund auf. Sie unterstützte ihn finanziell und heuerte 1500 deutsche und schweizerische Söldner, deren Kommandeur Schwartz war, für eine Invasion an. Sowohl der Earl of Lincoln als auch Schwartz starben, als die Invasionstruppen bei Stoke von der Armee König Heinrichs VII. aufgehalten wurden. (de)
  • Martin Schwartz (died 16 June 1487) was a German mercenary who died at the Battle of Stoke Field while fighting for Lambert Simnel, a Yorkist pretender to the English throne. Schwartz was born in Augsburg, the son of a shoemaker. Able but arrogant, he rose to become a major military entrepreneur, organising mercenary soldiers to fight in several campaigns. He is first recorded fighting for Charles the Bold of Burgundy at the Siege of Neuss in 1475. In 1486, he was recruited by Maximilian, later Holy Roman Emperor, to help rid the Burgundian Netherlands of the French and to suppress the Flemish rebellion. Schwartz commanded 200 Swiss mercenaries in the campaign. When John de la Pole, 1st Earl of Lincoln fled the English court, having decided to promote the cause of the pretender Simnel, his aunt, Margaret, Duchess of Burgundy, contracted Martin Schwartz to provide 2,000 troops for an invasion. Both Lincoln and Schwartz died at the Battle of Stoke Field, when this invasion force was defeated by the army of Henry Tudor. (en)
