Sir Thomas Erpingham, KG

Managed to finish another BTD HYW figure while watching a classic, favorite movie of mine, Murphy's War. Anyway, the figures is of course, Sir Thomas Erpingham, who famously commanded the English archers at Agincourt, and was memorialized by Shakespeare.

I would suggest this representation of Sir Thomas would be of him earlier in his long and distinguished military career. He served under John of Gaunt in France and Scotland.

Upon the Duke of Lancaster's death in 1399, Sir Thomas went on to be a loyal follower of the Duke's son, Henry Bolingbroke.  Sir Thomas accompanied Henry during the latter's exile by Richard II. Returning to England in 1399 with Henry, Sir Thomas is credited with assisting in the capture and imprisonment of Richard.

Although he is best remembered as a commander at Agincourt under Henry V, he established his reputation as a loyal knight under Henry IV. At Agincourt, Sir Thomas was already in his 60th year, and the twilight of his career. He died in 1428, a year before The Maid arrived at Orleans.
