OXLANC-07 – Lancastrian Billman | John Jenkins Designs
When the arrows had been loosed and the opposing armies finally came together, men armed with the English bill became central to the close fighting.
OXLANC-07 – Lancastrian Billman represents one of the infantrymen serving in John de Vere's retinue.
The military bill was a formidable polearm capable of thrusting, cutting and hooking. Its origins lay in agricultural tools, but by the 15th century specialised forms had developed specifically for warfare.
Billmen formed a natural complement to the longbowmen and heavily armoured men-at-arms of a noble retinue. Several figures grouped around Oxford's standard can create the dense body of infantry required for a convincing Bosworth battle line.
Available through The Military Workshop – a hard-fighting John Jenkins Designs Lancastrian infantryman for the retinue of the Earl of Oxford.
Brand: John Jenkins
