lastswordminiatures

First of all I want to thank you for this kind of feedback. It's what I like the most about this Patreon. We are not a huge amount but you are much more active than in much bigger Patreons and we value that. I also want you to be aware that being Spanish, sometimes I express myself more rudely in English than I would like to. Things don't always sound the same in my language as I can translate them. Back to the subject of the Tiaras: I know perfectly well that the crest I used as an illustration is a reproduction and even that it has decorative elements such as the trefoils that would be impossible at the time. But the fact that no crests with Tiaras are preserved (as far as I know) does not mean that their use is not documented. There are illustrations and descriptions in codices, which is more than enough to prove it: https://medievalists.gumlet.io/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/bishop-at-war-e1413489208732.jpeg?format=webp&compress=true&quality=80&w=800&dpr=1.0 https://images.routledge.com/common/jackets/amazon/978036787/9780367879358.jpg https://weaponsandwarfare.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/einhard_vita-karoli_13th-cent.jpg https://weaponsandwarfare.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/c_010_war.jpg This allows us to have more modern illustrations, and more interesting to look at: Bishop Hermann, Battle of the Ice,1242). https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3d/4a/08/3d4a0840ab142d7c743bbba8e2bf0646.jpg Walter von Geroldeck, Bishop of Strasbourg c.1262 https://thelosttreasurechest.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/henry-v-and-the-conquest-of-france.jpg Guglielmino degli Ubertini.

Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durhan at the Battle of Falkirk 1298 https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K7J9HV4ttZA/WBpokgU_VJI/AAAAAAAAh6c/MDB7eQmPZCYpMDKPKbgsc4yEpiqam7fmQCLcB/s1600/anthony-bek-01.jpg And if you want more information on the subject you have this magazine: https://www.battlemerchant.com/media/image/99/21/bf/2227200012-medieval-warfaremz32pU6m3bUdo.jpg In Spain we have a long tradition of priests leading armies going all the way back to Archbishop Carillo in the time of the Catholic Kings, or even Cardinal Infante later on. It is true that as time goes by the crests disappear . But tiaras and lions disappear equally. And that the helmet we have made with a crest, on a plate armour is anachronistic. But that's the magic of fantasy, to be able to put together elements that never happened. But the use of crests in the form of a tiara was quite frequent. After all, most of the high level religious were nobles, many with a military vocation. And the cross served as an excuse for them to pursue a career in arms. The purpose of the tiara, like any other heraldry, is to make them distinguishable. And if you think that only one or two could wear it in the whole country, it served its purpose very well. The only thing I want you to know is that we do a lot of documentation. All this that I have shown you is stored in our folder of warrior priests with hundreds of other pictures. To make good miniatures we need to have a lot of information, and we spend a lot of time looking it up and sorting it out. I hope you don't find it too long or boring. I love this stuff.
