  • You got a link to your source on that?

    Merriam-webster says mousquet came from the Old Italian moschetto meaning a small artillery piece. It's also a term for a male sparrow hawk. Which there was a traditio of naming weapons after animals.

    The Wikipedia page for musketeer says this:

    The Musketeers of the Guard were a junior unit, initially of roughly company strength, of the military branch of the Royal Household. They were created in 1622 when Louis XIII furnished a company of light cavalry (the "carabiniers", created by Louis' father Henry IV) with muskets.

    So the term Musketeer comes from the fact that they are armed with muskets. I cant find anything about a mousquet being a place on the belt to hold stuff.

  • And shepherds we shall be.

    For Thee, my Lord, for Thee.

    Power hath descended forth from Thy hand.

    That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.

    So we shall flow a river forth to Thee.

    And teeming with souls shall it ever be.

    In Nomine Patris, et Fili, et Spiritus Sancti."
