Tancred of Taranto

Tancred (1075 – December 5 or December 12, 1112) was a Norman leader of the First Crusade who later became Prince of Galilee and regent of the Principality of Antioch.
His flags may be downloaded free of charge from the main website at 600 dpi quality to give you a
very good printout.

The Victorian Outpost

Its a new gaming place in Grimsby with new terrain and new scenery, lots of respect for all wargamers and is the best place to game in town.

Anybody who wishes to visit the venue to arrange a game then  just pm me and lets roll those dice.

Thanks for those. A friend is building a Crusades force in 28mm and they will be useful.  :P
Cheers,

I could be wrong, but I think that Tancred became regant after the First Crusade. So wouldn't have used the arms of the principality until 1100. I suggest a variation on the arms of his family - d'Hauteville

Nice work though and the second one would still be useful for Bohemond after May 1198

edit- hey, I'll try and provide something a bit more useful when I get back from my travels than that. I know that this took a lot of work and deserves more than, 'yeah. nice, but you got it wrong!'  :o

 :D :D :D

Grimsby have some cracking flags, but the website says "contact us with suggestions" and I couldn't see how to contact.

We wondered if you have any War of 1812 artwork lined up....
