Stunning work Stuart. I looked at your archive section on flags and noticed the barding on some horses. Excellent. I can understand now your target date of 30 June 2013.
Cheers, |

A inspiring picture and haunting, for the rest of us collectors – I wish I could match your standard :-) I assume its a collection of your work, not a specific army – or my heraldry is worse then I tought. I will be here for June 2013! |

No, it's all a specific army, that of Henry VIII's 1513 invasion of France. There are some Burgundian contingents within it which may have confused it but they were part of it. |

OK, now it fits :-)
When you add the Imperial army under Maximilian it makes sense (though he certainly would have disagreed that his army was "part" of the English force, even when numerically weaker). Afaik there were also Landsknecht units around, not only Burgundian Gensdarmes, but if I look at the blurred woods there already seems to be one. Its also a pretty accurate depiction of the French cavalry at Guinegate, if I may dare to say so. :-)
In all fairness, though, their advance was only meant to be a diversion and when they realized what they faced using the spurs was the sensible thing to do. Once again: an inspiring picture. Thanks for sharing!
BTW: I am not sure wether you are aware of these here – I was not and only discovered them by sheer chance:

Diez artillery in 30mm. Prohibitely expensive, but it covers pieces from the Renaissance and medieval times (and others) that I have never seen before.
