These are the new additions to the early period Hundred Years War project.
Mounted French knights now have an equivalent element on foot. Each is accompanied by a retinue figure to fill out the number of blade. The Blue Moon figures are dismounted English hobilars from their Crecy & Poitiers lists and fit well as lesser armoured French men-at-arms and blade elements for the IV/13b Medieval German and IV/57b Low Country armies.
Knights of Burgundy
Knights of Beauvaisis, Knights of Artois and Constable of France
German heerban & Flemish Guildsmen
The Jacquerie
These are Blue Moon figures and make the 6 horde needed for two command of IV/64b Medieval French. The Jacquerie uprising lasted from 1357 to 1358; Froissart gives a start date of 1357 as this corresponds with the humiliating loss at Poitiers. The defeat meant unemployed troops, having no paymaster, formed roving bands of Free Companies acerbating the plight of the peasantry a decade following the Black Plague.
For our games, the Jacquerie will form an ‘allied contingents’ restricting their forming groups with other French elements.
