The Hessians were auxiliary troops from Hess, a state in what is now Germany (The term "Hessian" is now used to refer to all German troops deployed by the Crown in the American Revolution, although not all of them were necessarily from Hess). They were most notably "rented" out by their rulers to the British during the American revolution.
