As a lock down project I am upgrading my War of the Roses armies.
I have given each element of blades (including those depicting billmen) the flag of a participating noble.
I also have the livery colours for most of those Nobles.
My idea is too repaint the billmen and archers in the livery of a particular noble thereby givning retinues.
Problem I have is my research has shown that Livery Colours were usually of a single or two colours.
For example Sir William Stanley's livery was red.
Lord Fauconberg was white/blue.
Does anyone know how the white/blue was depicted on the livery coat?
I am thinking white coat and blue sleeves, or other way round or half blue and half white.
Any suggestions gratefully recieved
