100 years war Knights/Chevaliers and squires/écuyers I

French Knights and Squires 100YW

For the last 10 years I have been researching  Knights/Chevaliers and Squires/écuyers of the 100 years war, pulling information from all over the place, the last two months since the lockdown I have been pulling this all together specifically for Chevaliers and écuyers of Maine for the eleven local battles within 100klm, plus the 50 odd sieges.

My main focus to start with will be the French army from Baugé to Verneuil, concentrating first on the Chevaliers and écuyers locally, plus adding Bretons and Anjou Armagnac, Scottish, plus the opposing English and Burgundian and Normans, plus mercenary units up to Orleans and the campaign for the recovery of Normandy in the west, . I expect these armies to be more than 400 figures when completed.

I intend to predominately use perry plastics and a number of metals plus resort my old Glory army into late and early.

Wish me luck!
