I have the Osprey Agincourt and Crecy books, the very old ones.
I have the WRG Medieval Armies Book 1. I will be painting about 20 Kniggets for a friend for the Historicon Warrior tournament, whose theme is HYW-ish.
his approach is "the red unit", the "blue unit", etc.
However, pride dictates that I do "authentic" knights. (Longbowmen are easy!  ) So, is there a nice, inexpensive guide to English heraldry on the kniggets in the HYW?
I realize there is a noticeable difference between the Crecy and Agincourt periods. An ideal guide would be a $20 USD book with at least 20 knights! |

Freezywater was the first thing that came to mind. They have books on the Siege of Orlean and plenty of reference to flags and heraldry. |

Have a look at link – free downloads of 100 YW flags for Crecy and Poitiers. Should give you quite a few arms to choose from. |
