Seeking feedback on Italian Arquebusiers in English service circa 1549

[since1968]

I'd like to stage skirmishes from the Prayer Book Rebellion, Cornwall 1549. The Loyalists had 160 Italian arquebusiers in service. Any advice on which 28mm arquebusiers are the best fit?



Short list includes:

• TAG Royal Swiss (pictured above): http://bit.ly/2oPteUG
• TAG Valois French: http://bit.ly/2thVaG9

I've found reference to using the French and filing off the Fleur de Lis. TAG has Italian arquebusiers (http://bit.ly/2FZF8Up) but they look a little early to me.

Steel Fist landsknechts will form the infantry. Any guidance is appreciated.

Following up on this: "Scottish Renaissance Armies 1513-1550" shows an image of an Italian Mercenary at Haddington (the fellow with the red stripes). Same year as the Prayer Book Rebellion so I'll go with something similar:

so that means using the TAG Swiss I guess?

Yes, a mix of Valois French and Royal Swiss, with a little green stuff if I feel ambitious. ;-)
