Dimensions: 28"x14" Palm Sunday 1461, and the Yorkist army has advanced towards the Lancastrian lines. It is bitterly cold and snow has started to fall. Lord Fauconberg’s archers have moved en-mass into Towton Dale and are preparing to let loose a deadly arrow storm on their adversaries. Due to the effects of the Yorkist missile attack and disadvantaged by snow driving into their faces the Lancastrian army will be forced to advance and attack hand-to-hand. |
The Battle of Poitiers
Dimensions: 28"x20" Seen from the marsh where the Earl of Oxford has cleverly placed his archers to enfilade the flank of the French cavalry. The English army of 1356, commanded by the Black Prince, is placed behind hedges on rising ground and due to increasing casualties the current French attack is beginning to falter under a constant barrage of arrows. |
The Battle of Agincourt
Dimensions: 28"x20" St Crispin’s Day 1415, and the English archers and men-at-arms wait behind their protective stakes as yet another French assault is mounted against them. The fields between the villages of Agincourt and Maisoncelles are freshly ploughed and the first French cavalry charges have been repulsed by Henry V’s archers. The resulting chaos is causing the French dismounted knights to flounder in the mud causing piles of dead to form on the battlefield. |
The Battle of Crecy
Dimensions: 20"x28" It is 26 August 1346 and the Anglo-Welsh commanded by Edward III and his son the Black Prince have marshalled their army on rising ground near Crecy with their archers in ‘harrow’ formation. Massed cavalry charges have been ordered by the French king and as they gallop across the Vallee des Clercs they ride down their own Genoese crossbowmen in one of many chivalric assaults that fail to break the English battle line. |
