Map, Descripsion of the Kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland, etc, by Hans Woutneel, engraved by William Kip, London, 1603.
The map is of particular interest because it marks battles by a tent symbol, which 'explains' this symbol used on maps by Blaeu and Blome.
The list of battles is lost; but, for example, the event that is illustrated at Winchester is:-
During the FIRST BARONS WAR against King John. The rebel Barons accept the support of Prince Louis of France, who invades England, 4 May 1216, and marches to London. He is proclaimed king but not crowned; John escapes to Winchester. 14 June 1216 Louis besieges and captures Winchester.
