Bob's Hungarian Army

Following on from the pictures of Bob's Ottoman Army which generated a lot of interest, he got his Hungarian's out and I took some pictures.  Another army with lots of banners!

Bob tells me that the army is built around HYW French army from Lancashire Games. He also tells me that astute readers will notice that not only is the Royal Standard with Corvinus's Raven present, but so is his Fathers banner, that of Hunyadi Janos. So Hunyadi is dead and his son rules so the army is about 1460 - which just allows it to have a few Hussite/Bohemian mercenaries - the handgunners and others. For those of us not so astute it's a nice bit of history!
