Another "lance" of Spanish Jinetes for the Italian Wars. This will make 3 lances in total. The unit will also double up as Spanish Conquistadors for the Conquest of the New World.

Sir John Hawkwood was an English soldier who served as a mercenary leader and Condottiero in Italy. He led the White Company (English and German mercenaries) during the later part of the company's activities in Italy).

English Tudor Longbowmen. The two longbow units will flank a large billmen unit when in battle formation.

The White Company - no medieval source explains the company's name. The traditional view is that it is a reference to the brightly polished armour of the men-at-arms, however, William Caferro has suggested that it was because it originally wore white surcoats.

Really nice little force, very smart and cohesive.

Though wasn't John Hawkwood from a previous century???

1320-1394 but he certainly did a lot of fighting in Italy.
