Help wanted with Landsknecht banners of the low countries

[Stuart]

Hello there

I wonder if you could help me or point me in the right direction.

Henry VIII recruited mercenary Landsknechts for his 1513 campaign almost exclusively from the Low countries. I know that Henri III of Nassau was present and I think I've got his banner right but for the rest I was thinking of just using heraldry from Brabant, Flanders, Guelders & Roermund. Would that be going on the right lines or would Maximilian's heraldic banner of Burgundy be more appropriate.

Hopefully there are some images below which represent the areas mentioned in the above order. Henri III is the last one.

Any ideas?

Thanks for looking

Stuart.

I may be wrong on this, but I'm sure you'll find that the banners would only be Imperial or Ducal if they were in the service of Maximilian, or the Duke of Burgundy (Charles V as he would become. Maximilian was only Duke when Mary of Burgundy was alive and inherited nothing after her death).

I assume therefore that they would use the standard of their leader and/or the flag of who they were serving, in this case some variation of the English battle flag.

Likewise, the flags and banners of Low Country cities and areas, would only be borne by contingents raised from, or hired by, these respective communities and not merely borne by mercenaries raised in them, but serving someone else.
