Sir John Cornwall's Archers

[janner]

Along with Gilbert de Umfraville, Sir John Cornwall KG (aka Cornewaille, Cornwayl and Cornouayl) was one of the veteran commanders Henry V trusted with his advance guard and was also one of the most respected chivalric figures of his era. He served King Richard II in Scotland, fought for the Duke of Lancaster in Brittany, as well as for King Henry IV against Owain Glyndŵr during the Welsh Uprising. Henry IV made Sir John Cornewaille a Knight of the Garter in 1409. At the battle of Agincourt, Sir John captured Ghillebert de Lannoy, and Louis de Bourbon, Count of Vendôme, whom he ransomed for large sums for money.



Sir Thomas Wenlock was the only knight to be listed on Sir John's indenture for the 1415 campaign and here he is seen leading his lord's archers. Sir Thomas was a long term member of Sir John's military household and can also be found in the indenture for the 1421 campaign

At least for a bit, but I met a charming guy at Salute from Vejle who, inspired by your table, went and bought a Samurai army 

So I'll definately be taking the army up to 2K WAB over the next 12 mths or so. You never know, the other 2K in lead might also eventually get painted 

You know me, I need deadlines to get things done 

See you soon

[OSHIROmodels]

You never know, the other 2K in lead might also eventually get painted 

Well, if it doesn't, I know a chap who'll have them off you 

Let me know when you're next in Blighty 

cheers
