Completing the armies for the Breton Succession Wars opened the project to include the armies of Iberia to have both France and England continue their conflict across the Pyrenees.
The kingdom of Navarre was the first army to be completed as the majority of elements are spearmen, auxiliaries and skirmishers with a few mounted knights. From Ian Heath’s Armies of the Middle Ages, vol. 1, armour and weapons being similar, I mixed the composition of figures on each base with an assortment of Blue Moon miniatures.
Next, the army of Castille needed Spanish knights and jinetes and an order was placed for these. One or two elements were needed for Castille and Portugal, the remaining nine mounted made Welsh cavalry and an English hobilar with appropriate shields from Donnington.
The Portuguese became the beneficiaries of the extra figures
as this army listed a host of options. Each mounted knight has an equivalent on
foot, auxilia can be either 3Ax or Ps and bring the number of elements to 22. Of
the three armies, the Portuguese may have allied contingent, the English.
