Aragonese Mercenary Crossbow Guerre-Folle

Aragonese Arbalète - Crossbow

 At the battle of Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier, Aragonese contingents were sent by Ferdinand of Aragon to support the Breton Cause. The documents have 1000 mercenary Aragonese landing at Quimper to join the Breton Army under two captains, Pere de Queralt commanding a unit of Arbalète and Gimenez  Soler (a Aragon Jewish captain who had fought with Edward Woodville) a unit of spear men. The crossbow unit are complete and the spear unit not far behind. I have used the red cross on a green field the field sign of the Aragon contingents at the siege of Montpellier in 1479.

    Nice brushwork, Matt! Based for Impetvs is doubly nice.

      Thank you Johnathon. Yes, I do like the large bases and as a bonus the rules work well for this period.

      Thank you Aly, it is rather striking. I am thinking a lighter green for the spear. The green colour and Red Cross are in reference to the siege of Montpellier.

      Cheers
