OTD 1654 Cromwell opened his 2nd Parliament. In a 3 hour speech he said they had been called because England needed them. He also told them he was called and guided by God not man - Divine Right of Kings much? He dissolved the P four month later.

Tried watching the new movie - "based on Dumas". When d'Artagnan's presentation sword was a 19th C Naval Officer's I knew something was going to be wrong. Let me simply say "Really don't bother", it may actually be the worst yet!

Wonderful drawing of a trooper c1640 - oddly he isn't wearing a sword but does have pistols! Nice example of clothing though. (Jan Martszen, coll. Musee de Grenoble)

@1642Author I'm just saying

@NeilRitchie86 And those silly flags and flag poles still annoy me every time I see that illustration. It's a very bad pirate of this of the (later) 16th Foot

Reading the SUPERB 'Garrison of Tangier' book from Helion. Amongst the stores listed there are:
Good ash lance staves for horsemen, 20 feet long - 150
Lanceheads for horsemen - 100
LANCERS? In the Tangier Garrison in 1664? That's a ground-breaker...

Or this from Clay Mann?
