100YW French Armagnac (knights and squires) Chevaliers & Écuyers
More Chevaliers and écuyers of Maine for the eleven local battles within 100klm, plus the 50 odd sieges. Still concentrating on my French army from Baugé to Verneuil, basing of the units has commenced and first units of Archers and Chevaliers/Écuyers are completed, photos this week. The figures are a mix of Perry plastics and metals for Chevaliers and Écuyers from Maine, Brittany, Normandy and Touraine.The battlefield tour relating to our closest battles can be found here https://www.lhoteldeherce.fr/product-page/100-years-war-holiday
