A Source for the Wars of Religion.

 The French Wars of Religion are clearly not the most popular renaissance period for wargamers, but I have found a very good source of images for the period. Titled the Vinkhuijen Collection of Military Uniforms, the site contains a lot of what appear to be contemporary images from the period.

    Looking forward to seeing these. Might even build up a small contingent....

      Iain,
      Why be strong? Just buy a few to start with and see how things go from there.

    I already have a smallish bundle of English. I've seen some of these before- I think they may be 19th century- but drawing on period sources- the artistic style does not look 16th century to me but similar to some of my 19th cent postcards. Does not stop 'em being useful though. I have a contact in Britanny who is nuts for this period.
