Suggested 15mm Figures for 14th Century Anglo-Irish 3Cv? Not Irish 2LH.
Thanks!

If you are using Essex Miniatures for the rest of the army then MID72 could be fine for the b list and possibly MER20 for the c list if you shorten the lance to something like javelin/light spear size.

How about an Irish LH General figure for the 14th Century? There are plenty of Irish LH figures without armor, helmet, or shield, but not a lot of mounted Generals.

I don’t have my references to hand, but I have a suspicion that the Cv elements in Anglo Irish armies are knight or Sergeant types who have chosen to use light spears instead of lances (?), rather than ‘native Irish’ types.

I can't disagree with you about the Cv elements, especially as they are Anglo-Irish descended from Anglo-Norman colonists. It is noted how some "went native", especially outside the Pale. But the Irish General in the Medieval Irish list is LH, not Cv. I suspect the General might be better mounted and armoured than the other Irish LH, although armed the same with long javelin or spear, and skirmishing. The available 15mm figures listed as Irish are either Dark Ages Scots Irish or Norse Irish, or else Tudor period. I'll keep looking, customize a figure, or just get a substitute from the Tudor wars. After all, the Medieval Irish only played on their home pitch in this era. The army of the Bruces was probably the most notable of the pre-Tudor period.

The depictions of Anglo Irish mounted in Tim Newarks books on the Celts (Celtic Warriors - published by Blandford and Ancient Celts published by Concord, both illustrated by Angus McBride) show the Anglo Irish mounted looking more 'Native' than English.
I plan to build a new Medieval Irish army and plan to use the Khurusan Renaissance Irish cavalry. If you use the ones without Morion helmets they look okay.
Cheers
