OXLANC-03 – Men at Arms with Battle Standard | John Jenkins Designs
Standards were among the most visually important features of a late-medieval army, identifying the presence and allegiance of a lord and providing his retinue with a conspicuous rallying point.
OXLANC-03 – Men at Arms with Battle Standard represents armoured members of the retinue of John de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford, accompanied by their battle standard.
At Bosworth, Oxford commanded Henry Tudor's main body and played a crucial role in maintaining the cohesion of the Lancastrian force. Medieval battles could quickly become confused once formations collided, making standards especially important for identifying where commanders and their followers were located.
The combination of armour and a prominent standard makes OXLANC-03 a natural centrepiece. Position Oxford nearby, with billmen and archers spreading outward from the command group, and the entire Lancastrian formation begins to take shape.
Available through The Military Workshop – a striking John Jenkins Designs set that provides a magnificent focal point for John de Vere's retinue at Bosworth.
Brand: John Jenkins
