The Breton Guerre Folle, the Mad War 1

The Breton Mad War

My next medieval project will be the Breton Guerre Folle, or the mad war, it will be part of our „walk the Battlefield in the morning, Wargame in the afternoon“ wargame holidays here in France. 

the battlefield tour is here Breton War

The „Mad War“ was the struggle of major feudal lords against centralised royal power. As part of these power struggles, in 1484-1485, Louis II of Orléans tried to seize the crown supported by Francis II of Brittany and a certain number of border lords of Anjou-Maine and Normandy, attempting to depose the regent, Anne de Beaujeu. On 2 November 1485, the Peace of Bourges suspended the hostilities for eight months.

The second phase commenced June 1486 to November 1488, is sometimes called the War of Bretagne (Brittany), this is the period I will concentrate on as all of the major clashes and sieges occur within 1 hour of L’Hotel de Hercé-French Wargame Holidays HQ. 

The first army I will build will be the Bretons, along with the Gascon, Béarnaise, Aragonese, English, Castilian and German Mercenaries, followed closely by the French, Swiss mercenaries along with Germans and Italians. The armies will focus on the field battle of Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier in 1488. I predominatly will be using the Perry range of WOTR plus the mercenaries pack along with some other bits and pieces from other manufacturers

My first unitS off the table is done is Breton archer Skirmishers based for Impetus, the figures are Perry Plastics. 

cheers

Matt
