White Company
The White Company (Italian: ''Compagnia Bianca del Falco'' ) was a 14th-century Italian mercenary Company of Adventure (It :''compagnia di ventura''), led from its arrival in Italy in 1361 to 1365 by the German Albert Sterz and later by the Englishman John Hawkwood. Although the White Company is the name by which it is popularly known, it was initially called the Great Company of English and Germans〔Caferro, William. ''John Hawkwood: An English Mercenary in Fourteenth-century Italy''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2006. ISBN 978-0-8018-8323-1 p.46〕 and would later often be referred to as the English Company (It: ''Compagnia degli Inglesi'', L: ''Societas Angliciis'').
==Origins of the name==
No medieval source explains the company's name.〔Caferro (2006), p.47〕 The traditional view is that it is a reference to the brightly polished armour of the men-at-arms.〔Mallet, Michael: Mercenaries and their Masters, Bodley Head, London, 1974 ISBN 0-370-10502-8 p. 37〕 However, William Caferro has suggested that it was because the Company originally wore white surcoats.〔Caferro (2006) p.47〕 This view might be supported by the fact that mercenaries led by Arnaud de Cervole in France at this time were known as ''bandes blanches''〔Cooper, Stephen. ''Sir John Hawkwood: Chivalry and the Art of War''. Barnsley: Pen and Sword, 2008. ISBN 978-1-84415-752-5 p.79〕
