Blimey I'd almost forgotten that series....I read it years ago since it featured Charles the Bold but never really got into the books, the plot seemed a bit too convoluted to hold my interest.

Paul did borrow my copies of Heath's "Armies of the Middle Ages" which I think he found useful in tracking down some of the heraldry that he has used.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

Now I need to find 2 appropriate leaders for the German or Spanish men-at-arms that I can find banners for  :-B

Perhaps I should have said historically appropriate :-<

But the weather sure isn't going to play ball for any photos tomorrow sorry Techno:

6+ metre waves coming ashore on the South Coast, Southerlies gusting 90-100kph with snow down to low levels and road closures expected....a top of about 6 degrees C before windchill  :o

Not going to be good for much tomorrow, still you can't beat Wellington on a good day!!!  ;)

At least two of those are from noble families, so these may work.

Conrad von Landau: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gr%C3%BCningen-Landau

Others are more difficult to track down with just a name.

German heraldry is a lot like Polish (in fact the Poles appear to have copied the 'German' principle) in that the junior members of the family carried the full family arms - without any cadence marks.
Also, at this period quartering (through marriage or inheritance) was rare in Germany - so you'd be safe to use the full Urslingen or Landau heraldry. But worth checking if your Free Company captain was legitimate or not, as bastardy marks were used (although I suspect that with a Free Company captain they'd probably not want to show that).

I'd suspect the opposite!  The men were unemployed mercenaries, the dispossessed, younger sons or just types that enjoyed terrorising the civvies. I think they would be more likely to respect a fellow professional soldier/hard-case forced to follow a non noble career than a legit "chinless wonder".  And being a bastard was not a barrier in the official armies.  The  English had John Beaufort and later the French bastard of Alencon fought and died with his half brother the Duke at Verneuil. I'm currently "researching" Verneuil armies.  Interestingly, the English seem to be slightly and the French quite different than the DBA 3 lists [e.g. Scots could have been as many as 6,000 of 16,000 not 2 of 12]. So I'll have to do some extra elements if I ever need to go Barkercompliant although its arguable that the missing types were there but not important enough to mention in chronicles/pay rolls.

Thanks Big Insect & DecemDave

I'm in the office during the day for work tomorrow after a couple of night shifts :(
Then I'll be a playing Spearhead at one of our local conventions, Call to Arms :)
Then on holiday for a week visiting friends and catching up with my son :)

All this will slow down progress on the Scots :-w
