    1. Yes, I'd like to do Dutch; they are on my (very long now!) To Do list... :-)

  2. I was thinking this week that a good Dutch one to start with would be Nassau-Friedland. It's a very simple flag (at least the yellow/blue WSS one is), for an important regiment, that isn't available commercially.

  3. Thanks for the comment, Simon. There seems to be some confusion over Nassau-Friesland and Aylva's flags; I see that Warflag and the Kronoskaf WSS Wiki do the same, also assigning the blue-yellow flag to Nassau-Friesland. This is confirmed by Belaubre and Goldberg's work on Dutch flags of the period, and I see that the Helion book on the Dutch 1660-1687 follows the Belaubre-Goldberg conclusion that the blue-yellow flag(s) belonged to Aylva. There are two versions of the blue-yellow Aylva flag. The French MS of flags captured at Fleurus 1690 has a more complex version with a heraldic shield in the hoist than that depicted in the Triomphes Louis XIV. I shall probably produce both of them. I shall eventually do the more complicated white with a fan of red flames Aylva flag too.

  4. Hi David, I think you are probably right, and that the flag was captured at Fleurus. It is a beautiful flag!
