!!!Tiroler Landlibell

Tiroler Landlibell, promulgated by Emperor Maximilian I on 
July 23, 1511, a military order for the Tirolean armed 
forces issued in agreement with the Estates; the Tiroler Landlibell 
required able-bodied men from all the Estates who were between 18 and 
60 years old to render military service in defense of Tirol. Every 
Tirolean was allowed to carry weapons (beginning of the Tirolean  
Marksmen's Associations). The Tiroler Landlibell was also in force in 
the ecclesiastical principalities of Trient/Trento and 
Brixen/Bressanone.
