Fabulous! :)
Yes! Commissioned by Sten Sture after the victory at the Battle of Brunkeberg 1471.
@caitlinrgreen hrmmm Pilgrim badge? I wonder. Sadly can't think or search today.
@T3_Stephen me too... :) Report says "perhaps a pilgrims badge affixed to a hat or could have been worn on the doublet of a Knight of St. >
@T3_Stephen > George over his gambeson... a small loop at the back of the George... suggests that it was attached to clothe not metal."
@caitlinrgreen I saw the loop and that is what got me thinking but today is for interpretive communities not thirsty Pilgrims in Cumbria :)
@caitlinrgreen Now just a minute! As a George, I've always visualized the dragon as big and scary, not the size of a large basset hound!
@GeorgeRick1 Lol! It does look rather unfair, doesn't it!
@caitlinrgreen is this the inspiration for targerians in Game of thrones??
@caitlinrgreen haha atleast it was an inspiration for me :)
