Subject: Bedford's Battle, Battle of Verneuil 1424, Heraldic Info etc
This piece was written for my old La Journee blog but as I'm resurrecting the Verneuil project I thought it might be i/ a good introduction to what I'm going to be doing and ii/ the importance of pageantry and Heraldic display (sometimes in surprising ways) in Late Medieval Battles.
As the introduction to the topic says on my blog:
"What follows is a republication of a very old blog post (so old I cannot remember what year it was pit together- though mu guess would be 2010) recovered on Wayback Machine that I think Hundred Years War aficionados out there might find interesting. I chose to publish it again as it focuses in on the the John, Duke of Bedfore and the importance of pageantry and accompanying symbolism during the Hundred Years War. A subject that is often misunderstood and missing on the wargames table, at least in my opinion."
