These depictions were taken from the Codex Manesse. Given your tiny pictures, I assume you don't know that it has been fully digitalised. http://digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/cpg848. Otherwise, I'd recommend looking into the illuminations on Froissart's chronicles, which usually fall into the late 14th to early 15th century. For something more 15th century-ish, there is the Hausbuch Wolfegg which shows a late medieval army group, or you could take a look at fencing manuals, e.g. Talhoffer's.

They're not depicting soldiers though.

>>968878
duelists, who use polearms are mostly soldiers.
who else carries an eight foot long shaft with a pointy metal end in their daily life?

>>968883

People who are involved in some kind of judicial dispute and opted for trial by combat.

>>968902
in their daily life?
I know what you're saying, but that's what I pointed out

>>968909

Soldiers didnt carry an eight foot long shaft with a pointy metal end in their daily life all that much either really.

Yes, that's from Talhoffer's

OP wanted "they can be professionals, levy or wathever". These may be duelists, but who is to say they are not part of a men-at-arms core or possibly levied peasants?

I have some odd stuff I've found in manuscripts over the years

Is he trying to shoot his crossbow backwards, or has he just figured out a new trendy way to hold a loaded ranged mechanism.

He's shooting at his pursuers, backwards. Yes. Trendy? Better be. That would be pretty hard to actually do with accuracy

Look into a manuscript called "notitia dignitatum". It has a lot on governments and such, but the full manuscript also contains a wealth of shield designs
