Project Hungarian Update: War Wagons

My war wagons used in my Hungarian army. The pavise and the cover for the horses are scratch built. More will be painted for my Hussite army in the future.

Under Janos Hunyadi the Hungarians began to use warwagons, not surprising given the large numbers of ex-Hussites employed as mercenaries. These wagons appear to have differed little from their original Hussite counterparts and fulfilled a very similar role, see Hussite pages for more details on warwagons. See Hungarian Tactics and battles for a more details on how they were used.

The pictures below are from the "Medieval Housebook".

"Medieval Housebook" is the common name of a vellum manuscript written in ca. 1480 and preserved now in the Kupferstichkabinett (copperplate cabinet) of Wolfegg, Germany. According to Waldburg-Wolfegg, the MH rather presents the Renaissance than medieval times. And it is less a "housebook" but more an extended "armourer-guide-book" ("Büchsenmeisterbuch").

The following pictures are taken from the Hungarian Castleof Visegrad, not far north of Budapest.
