BATTLE OF LUTZEN 1632 - THE COLOURS OF THE SACHSEN WEIMAR LEIBREGIMENT

I meant to bring a little order to these flags, which relate to one of my previous historical studies on this regiment at the Battle of Lützen in 1632.

In the centre is shown the colonel’s colour, already at that time with a white field, while around it are displayed five company colours, all bearing, in various ways, the colours of Saxony.

Then I realized that the flags for Companies 7, 8, 9 and 10 were missing (the regiment in fact fought at the Battle of Lützen with 10 companies, each with its own flag), so I wanted to put that right. Now all 10 flags are there.
