satw - britain, ireland, and france - medieval

here's the satw characters of britain, ireland, and france... in mediæval style!

usually they're wearing the flags we know today, but i'm drawing them with the royal banners they used to fly back in the old times.

england wears the royal standard of england (without the arms of ireland, and scotland combined in it) [link] . i gave him a crown because england claimed the rulership of scotland, wales, ireland, and even france as an inheritance from his anglo-norman ancestors.

france (on righthand side of england) wears the flag of mediaeval france [link] . i feel the need to include france, because her rivalry with england is always an epic story, like the story of william the conqueror and jeanne d'arc.

wales (on lefthand side of england) wears the "flag of gwynedd" [link]

scotland (the rightmost) is wearing the royal standard of scotland [link] , under a kilt (i don't know if it's called kilt; i always thought the kilt is like the one like a skirt). well, my only reference is the movie 'braveheart' , which includes the battle of stirling.. so that's why the pic of the uncoloured version of him [link] i called "the man from stirling".. hahahaha

ireland's (the leftmost) clothes are based on the coat of arms of ireland in the past [link] .. i don't think it's the flag of mediaeval ireland, but i like it. not quite a thorough research!


the colours are made to be rudimentary and outside the lines.. for a purpose... (bad excuse ). not perfect but i hope you like it.
