Italian Condottiere (Bracceschi)

[Medieval 2 Total War - Machiavello mod](http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?2240-Machiavello-Total-War-(MachTW)) | Model for an Italian Condottiere for the Bracceschi. The Bracceschi were commanders associated with [Braccio da Montone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braccio_da_Montone) and his military school, and many of them, like the Piccinino family, fought over all major conflucts in XV century Italy. A "[condottiere](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condottieri)" acts as general and military commander of a large unit; he is shown with the command baton with which this figure is shown with. The models are based on Paolo Uccello's painting of the [Battle of San Romano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_of_San_Romano), with the characteristic large hats and plumes of the men-at-arms, and a trumpeteer. They are armed with plate armour in Milanese style, as other professional mercenaries of XVth-century Italy.
