Hessians were professional soldiers who were often "rented" out to other armies by their rulers, a common practice in 18th century Europe. The British Crown had family ties to some of these German princes, and utilized them in several conflicts, most notably the American War of Independence. As units, Hessians fought because their rulers had family ties to the Crown of Britain, and had been paid to send their troops. Individually, the soldiers usually had nothing to gain from the conflict, but fought anyway because it was their duty as soldiers. Being a professional princely army, Hessians upheld a strong code of honour--They served out of a sense of loyalty to their princes and their States.

The German soldiers that were paid by the British to fight in the Revolutionary War were called "Hessians".
