King Harold's Standard 1066


Just one flag in todays post, it's my version of King Harold Godwinson's fighting man standard. It's the same basic template as my Viking flags. I found a picture of a Saxon huscarls online and coloured it gold changing it slightly to try and make it look like the figures on the Bayeux Tapestry. I've a few more Viking flags all ready, but that's another post!!

  1. Some uncensored bits on that Bayeaux Tapestry if they ever show the whole thing. Some modern books finally do, and it really brings it to life.

  4. Excellent. I have not been happy with what I've been able to find on-line and would very much like to use this banner with some Normans I have.
