I wonder if anyone has access to any of the works of Voltmer on the carroccio. I'm really interested in what he has to say about the German usage of the Fahnenwagen. I've seen some comments which seem to be based on his paper regarding their use at Worringen, (one on each side I think) and something else about Mainz using one at Gollheim.

I'm really trying to find out whether there are any examples of a German army having more than one of them.

Thanks
