Italian Condotta

Post by Scrumpy »

Am I right in assuming the English Archers pre 1400 in various Italian Condotta lists represent Sir John Hawkwood's White Company ?

I too would like to know the answer.

IMHO, it IS a safe bet that if they are representing the White Company it should mean only ONE of the armies involved in a given battle can have only one unit of them.

I don't have his book to hand but I believe he fought for both the Venetians & the Florentines

If memory serves, the Florentines put up a statue as a tribute(which I think was going to be bronze but proved unaffordable)

And of course the Paduans at the most famous battle Castagnaro in 1387.
