Some interesting pictures of the TYW/ECW
Always funny what you come across in your travels. On the way back from holiday in Ceredigion we stopped off at Powis "castle" . In one of the rooms there were some familiar pictures, but when I asked the guide I only found out they were generic battle scenes. Eventually remembering the name of the Flemish artist Pieter Snayers and adding "powis" up popped the pictures and far better than I could see them high up on the walls at the stately house.
all said to be in the manner of Pieter Snayers (Antwerp 1592 – Brussels 1667). There is also one other in the National Trust collection so I'll have to pop down to Erddig, which is nearby to see it.

Seems that there were quite a few fights over bridges. One of those looked like a pic captioned 'Philiphaugh' in my copy of Ronald Williams's biography of the Marquis of Montrose. Turned out that is a third such picture of an engagement over bridges.
