Looks fab.I've got one on order that ought to be on it's way to me by now.Plenty of info? Other than the heraldry etc? Doe sit mention who was thought to have thought in what 'battle'/division for example?
I am working through my own research of who was in what "Battle" atm.
I'm afraid that, rather like Crecy, even the heralds couldn't place the majority of the (dead) men at arms.
Is it possible that they didn’t wear expensively decorated equipment into battle where it’s going to be covered in mud and shit and saved that stuff for tournaments and travelling?
I’ve sometimes wondered about this. If ‘knights’ wore their full arms on shields or surcoats, why isn’t their identification and/or placement easier
indeed why do you need a herald to do it? And that as painters and visual game players we just like colourful looking figures?
Or just that all the pretty looking stuff is looted well before the heralds get around to putting a dainty foot on the battlefield?
The book looks very interesting. The thing i dont like is the rather clean cut computerised look of the heraldry. It looks very sterilized and thats a general problem plaguing even the decals for miniatures.
