Red Box 110 1/72 XV c. Burgundian Infantry and Knights Set 2

The 15th century saw much progress towards the map of Europe that we know today, with several modern states becoming more recognisable at this time. However Burgundy, although an important state for much of the century, was destined not to be one of them. Before the death of the last Duke in 1477 and the effective absorption of the dukedom into France, Burgundy prospered and was the first in Western Europe to introduce something akin to a standing army. However Duke Charles the Bold was not impressed with the quality of his own citizen infantry, and so hired large numbers of mercenaries, especially Italians, to form the core of his foot soldiers. Yet in terms of weaponry and tactics Burgundian armies were not so different to those of other states, and this set from RedBox is something of a part-work depicting some of those infantry and knights on foot.
