There seems to be some different views as to Edward Neville, 1st/3rd Baron Bergavenny's heraldic banner.

I went for the one in the Lance and Longbow's Heraldic Banners book -  image 34 in the book. I used a few bits and pieces from the flags provided by the Perry plastic set, as the template. My stab is here https://28mmtowton.blogspot.com/2019/07/the-nevilles.html

A different version can be seen here - https://www.luminarium.org/encyclopedia/bergavenny1.htm

And I would highly recommend Stuart Mulligans excellent  piece on the Third Lord Bergavenny, which offers a download for his standard.https://stuartsworkbench.blogspot.com/2011/03/george-neville-third-lord-of-bergavenny.html Again, a different version - from a C16th  source.

Many years ago I did a Warwick standard, as a bet with a friend.
Here is my attempt in 25mm.
