A digital copy of this work, held at Trinity College, Dublin, has been made

Some interesting images in here of early 13th century arms and armour which might be of use for those raising armies for the period.  Illustrations start around Fol.29v

I do like the line drawing style of these - plenty of details.  Not all the "usual suspects" from MP's output, either.

One of the Donnington 15mm figures is spot on for this - even the trumpet.
