The Duchy of Burgundy Mod

[Ali_the_English]

I am currently creating a mod that adds the Duchy of Burgundy to Medieval 2 and wondered if anyone has any info or knows any links that could help me. I mostly need to know what types of soldiers they used.

Okay, seems to be a nice mod idea.

An unit called the Lances
From http://www.luc.edu/publications/medi.../bachrach.html
On 31 July 1471, at the Somme river-town of Abbéville, Charles the Bold, the last of the Valois dukes of Burgundy, issued an ordinance ordering the recruitment and equipping of 1200 nine-man units called "lances." This ordinance also contained a series of regulations concerning the training, discipline, equipment and pay for these units as well as numerous other clauses including the disposition of these new companies in combat, the detection of deserters and benefits for wounded veterans.

Found this nice book, which you could borrow from the local library

The banner is looking like the banner used after the Duchy is reconquered by the realm of France.

The correct blason is:


Less beautifull, however it was the blason used by the Duchy when they opposed to the France (Capetians dynasty branch)
