'To the Victor the spoils' Norman Knight
This is a very nice Romero Norman knight, after long conversations with my friend (history teacher) I have looked at the validity of this model in a historical sense. Firstly, there is no evidence that the Norman's carried Dracos either to or at the time of the Norman conquest. There is one depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry but it a depiction of the 'Red dragon of Wessex.' It was fabled to be the personnal banner of King Harrold, as depicted on the tapestry. A draco is a throwback from the Roman era, made of a bronze dragon head and a cloth 'wind sock.' Secondly, the scale armour is historically correct. He is equiped as a light horseman, not one of the fully armoured knights. This was a nice model to make and paint, nice cast and sculpt! Anyway, comments please.
