So what would these guys look like?

Did they wear much armor?
Use shields?
Use polearms or swords?

Know of any illustrations or descriptions of them?

Thanks Tim. Looks like Polearms mixed armor but without shields

There are lots of contemporary illustrations of Brigans Kevin.

They appear to be mainly armed with: long knives & small bucklers, short spears - sometimes with assorted round, teardrop or heater type shields, but often depicted shieldless, and also with polearms.

If you Google - froissart chronicles illustrations - or other contemporary chroniclers, you'll find a fair few images. Often they are used to depict the soldiers in biblical 'massacre of the innocents' illustrations.

Cheers
Mark

I use these figures, especially if I take them as mediocre.
