Here are couple of more that I came up with.    They are printed by Foundry publishing and are written by Ian Heath   Armies of the 16th Century 1487-1603. The first one covers England 1487-1603. Scotland 1500-1603, Ireland 1487-1603, The United Provinces 1566-1609, The Spanish Netherlands 1556-1609. and 16th Century Artillery. The second volume covers The Caribbean 1492-1603,Mesoamerica 1450-1600, South America 1500-1600, North America 1494-1600, Spanish America 1492-1600.   Most of the pictures are black and white drawings but lots of information about this period   Willie

Thank you for showing the figures Eric. I have seen them in Mr. Teranas catalouge on this side but not the figures itself.

As an example hre is an old set issued by the "Société des collectionneurs de figurines historiques" long ago and painted by Leopold Rieche
The moulds were kept by Christian Terana and unfortunately I do not know where they went after he died

"Renaissance armies" by Georges Gush, is a very good base
You can find it on Amazon
Gallica is truly a good place and you could also try Pinterest

Thanks for your help, The Funcken-book and some publications about landsknechts are already here. I will check the others.
Galica.bnf is a nice idea, I have found some interesting 17th century books there in the past.

Try looking on  galica.bnf  the French on line library, has many early books.
You can simply put in uniformes in search and see what it throws up, or you can be more specific and enter 16th century uniformes ,but, you must insert in French, no good putting anything in the search engine in English.
Try it and see you might be surprised.
Kindest regards
Bob

Le Costume L Armure ET Les Armes Au Temps DE LA CHEVALERIE  By Funcken volume 2  The Conquest of Mexico By Miguel Gomez. I have a couple of more to look up on this subject Willie

Osprey as is normal has some of this covered with books on Pavia, Fornovo the Condottiere and landsknechts as well as an overview of the French Religious Wars.  However, they are all pretty brief in their coverage. 


I have a hard time in the following century with information - in English anyway - on Turenne and the Great Conde and their campaigns and armies.
