The link you have sent through for De Haga is the coat of arms I found myself in connection with another de Haga at Otterburn.<br /><br />The pursuit of Edward post-Bannockburn and the cavalry involved is a matter of some conjecture. There were only a few dozen pursuers and pursuit is obviously a task usually given to "light" cavalry, but how a few dozen skirmishers could be expected to chase down a King and his followers and inevitably fight them in order to capture that king is a mystery to me at least. My own opinion is that we would have a mix of types, but the likes of Keith & co would swap the destrier for a palfrey more suited to such a task. I certainly do not see him removing armour to make the horse's task easier, however. Pure conjecture!<br /><br />GGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194866927040953340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636022410788061882.post-37848384285068077802013-10-10T11:15:49.402-07:002013-10-10T11:15:49.402-07:00Thanks everyone for the info and comments, As alwa...Thanks everyone for the info and comments, As always, the feedback is most welcome.<br /><br />GGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194866927040953340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636022410788061882.post-44109780691939981022013-10-10T07:38:26.344-07:002013-10-10T07:38:26.344-07:00Excellent brush work!
