Richard III - 1485

[Marco22]

Richard III , the last Plantagenet king of England was killed at the Battle of Bosworth on August 1485 leading a mounted cavalry charge against Henry Tudor in an attempt to kill him and end the conflict of the war of the Roses.
The setting I chose, was Richard just before he was killed on his horse.
I added a hallbardier (also from Medieval Forge Miniatures ) to give a more dramatic effect to the little vignette.
the boar represents Richard's emblem

This is stunning and outstanding artistry. Shouldn't the leopards always face to the left? Leopards facing to the right indicate different arms and hence different heraldry.

Fabulous work and especially the heraldry; even more so if it is all freehand and not engraved details..?

Freehand heraldry like that makes me wonder why I even bother. Magnificent work.

Magnificent work at all levels. Handpainted heraldry is beyond my abilities. The addition of the halbardier was a masterstroke. It brings everything together.
