Household knights livery
« on: March 27, 2014, 10:32:31 PM »
Hello all,
I am just starting a Barons war project and have had difficulty in finding any information on 13th century household knights livery. I have had no problem finding heraldry and livery for the major knights Barons etc, but was wondering on the livery for household knights. Would it be the same as the lords or a variation?

Thanks in advance

If you can find some info in the standards carried, as opposed to the banners, then you could choose the colours (usually two) on the standards. Though I'm not soi sure that heraldry was that far advanced at the time of the Baron's War it would be reasonable to make a leap of faith in this case.

Fates fickle finger, Have you seen the website earlyblazon.com?
It appears to have a lot of what you are asking for. It is pretty good for Barons Wars information. If you click on 'battles' at the side, you get info and participants for Lincoln and Sandwich and for 2nd wars, Evesham and Lewes.
