Sir Richard Carew


I thought you might like to see the painted result of the conversion previously mentioned; here we have Sir Richard Carew, captain of the Calais garrison at the time of the 1513 invasion, a fitting noble to have a little extra time lavished upon.

I have been fortunate to have found what I think is his standard and i'm still doing a bit of reading as to his background and participation in the campaign. I also have a few more conversions for his unit which i'm presently working upon to hopefully make it a decent command group, more of these soon.
