The first base represents the king of France



The second base represents the heir to the French crown, the so-called Dauphin of France



The third base represents the knight Jean Poton de Xaintrailles 1390-1461


The fourth base represents the knight Charles I d'Albret (December 1368 – 25 October 1415)


The armor is from the 15th century and for this reason the figures represent the late period of the war.
All knights are dismounted.

super
gefallen mir sehr gut

Thank you very much.

I will present two bases representing 14th century French commanders.
Figures are from the Emhar set 7210 Crested Knights and they offer enough possibilities for those who like conversions.
Three of the four flags are handmade.
The first base represents the King of France, John II the Good, from the Battle of Poitiers (19 September 1356). John II, called John the Good (French: Jean le Bon), was King of France from 1350 until his death in 1364.
Next to him on one side is the knight Eustace de Ribemont. He was the French standard-bearer at the battle of Poitiers, where he was killed.
Next to him on the other side is the knight Geoffroi de Charny, standard bearer of Oriflamme at the Battle of Poitiers.






The second base represents the knight Bertrand du Guesclin and his personal retinue.
Bertrand du Guesclin (Breton: Beltram Gwesklin; c. 1320 – 13 July 1380), nicknamed "The Eagle of Brittany" or "The Black Dog of Brocéliande", was a Breton knight and an important military commander on the French side during the Hundred Years' War. From 1370 to his death, he was Constable of France for King Charles V. Well known for his Fabian strategy, he took part in seven pitched battles and won the five in which he held command.








Notes: 1) The Oriflame banner
The Oriflamme (from Latin aurea flamma, "golden flame"), a pointed, blood-red banner flown from a gilded lance, was the sacred battle standard of the King of France and a symbol of divine intervention on the battlefield from God and Saint Denis in the Middle Ages. The oriflamme originated as the sacred banner of the Abbey of St. Denis, a monastery near Paris. When the oriflamme was raised in battle by the French royalty during the Middle Ages, most notably during the Hundred Years' War, no prisoners were to be taken until it was lowered. Through that tactic, they hoped to strike fear into the hearts of the enemy, especially the nobles, who could usually expect to be taken alive for ransom during such military encounters.
2) The flag with the white cross on a blue field is the flag of Saint Denis, the patron saint of France during the Middle Ages.

Je me demande ce que nos amis français des chiffres pensent de ces chiffres ? Des commentaires ?
