Welcome back to my first video on the Wars of the Roses in a few months. This video focuses on William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembrooke and the excellent painting by Graham Turner portraying his final battle. I own a print of this painting and I have always wanted to try and recreate the scene using the 28mm WOTR miniatures by Perry Miniatures.


The video also includes a brief history of William Herbert’s life as well as a breakdown of the Battle of Edgcote based on the accepted accounts of the battle.


Please check out Graham Turners paintings at https://www.studio88.co.uk/acatalog/G... his artwork is incredibly inspiring.


Many thanks to my buddy Dan for creating the map background for the battle for me to animate over, I know how much you love using CAD 😉
