Earl of Northumberland's flags - The Battle of the Spurs 1513

Henry Percy, The 5th Earl of Northumberland fought for Henry VIII in the  War of the League of Cambrai (1508–1516) and at the Battle of the Spurs in 1513. The first flag is from the War of the Roses, so it may not be 100% correct, the second flag is taken from the front cover of Osprey's, "Henry VIII's Army", Men-At-Arms No191. If its good enough for Osprey, its good enough for me!!

Henry VIII's Banner and Sir Rhys ap Thomas Flags

There are four flags in this post, the first is again from Stuarts blog, and is the banner of Henry VIII, while the second is another Tudor livery flag.

The next two flags are both for Rhys ap Thomas, who commanded the Light Cavalry at The Battle of the Spurs, during the European campaign in 1513.



Once again, feel free to copy and use the flags in your own armies.

Battle of Flodden Flags

Following a link from TMP last month, I visited the blog, "Stuart's Workbench", Link. Stuart is in the middle of painting up an army for, Henry VIII's campaign in France in 1513. He's kindly decided to share some line drawings of flags and standards for Henry's army. The problem for me is, it has re-ignited my passions for my long abandoned project of the Battle of Flodden in 15mm. Stuart gave me permission to copy the flags and colour them, then place them on my blog. I've included 4 here, as well as 4 Scots flags for Flodden.

The first flag is a Tudor Livery Flag. The second is The Royal Coat of Arms.

The third flag is Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, while the fourth is The Holy Trinity.

The first of the Scots flags for The Battle of Flodden is The Royal flag of James IV, King of Scotland. The second flag is for Alexander Home, 3rd Lord Home, Chamberlain of Scotland. The third is for Archibald Cambell, 2nd Earl of Argyle. The last flag is for Alexander Gordon, 3rd Earl of Huntley.

I shall be placing more flags for the Tudor period over the coming weeks, so please come back and check them out.
