Mind blowing work Stuart!!!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

I think you are right about the level and direction of the pageantry that Henry VIII would have used as a precurser to the invasion. Pageantry is a very much underrated aspect of Medieval warfare. After all, the banners and standards were more than just rallying points! These symbols communicated ideas that the troops in a said army, in an age where the population was largely illiterate, would have had a high degree of understanding.

Aly, an excellent choice, you'll enjoy it plus it's not overly expensive if you utilise the Perry plastics.

Darrell, there is definitely a sense of wonder in the flags i've looked at throughout this project, symbols which seem to recur and the power of the cult of St. George, one wonders what senses of passion and identity a simple red cross must have summoned in an English soldier across the ages.
