𝓗e rides with your family emblem on his horse. It's so romantic. ♡︎
Henry led the way. The words embroidered on his gold basse skirt and his horse's trapper were a public profession of love. Henry was ‘Cure loial’, Catherine's ‘Loyal Heart’. Should anyone doubt exactly who the object of his affections was, Catherine's letter ‘K’ was embroidered all over his pavilion. — Giles Tremlett

Tortall Fancast Series - Thom of Trebond
As children, Thom and Alanna were so much alike in face and body shape as to be mistaken for each other, if dressed alike. The only distinguishing feature of the twins at that time was the length of their hair. Both were short and skinny, with copper hair and purple eyes. When Alanna visited him at age eighteen she commented on his beard and height, suggesting he grew up to be taller than her. (x)
Okay so I already know this from my ASoIaF blog, but damn, finding redheads in medieval clothes is hard. Also, canonically Thom died at 20, but it's hard to find teenage fancasts, so I've included some who are technically too old but fit the vibe.
KEREM AÇARSÖZ - SEHZADE SELIM (MAGNIFICENT CENTURY)
Açarsöz seems to be 8-10 years old, although I cannot find a birthdate for him. He plays a young Ottoman prince in Magnificent Century. It can be somewhat difficult to navigate footage if you don't speak Turkish, but all episodes are readily available online, mostly on youtube. Costume design is distinctly Ottoman, but some of it works as general medieval European.
GABRIEL AND TRISTAN HARLAND - YOUNG CNUT AND ESGAR (THE LAST KINGDOM)
So there's not much footage of either of these kids, and in at least 1/3 of it they've got knives held to their throats, but I included them because they're identical twins with great vibes for Thom and Alanna at the beginning of SotL. The only source for their age I could find puts them at 10-11 filming The Last Kingdom, and while I'm not sure how reliable it is, that looks about right.
YIGIT ÜST - SEHZADE SELIM (MAGNIFICENT CENTURY)
Üst plays an older version of Açarsöz's character on Magnificent Century. I couldn't find an age for him, but he seems to have been in his early/mid teens during filming. He's often in a turban, but when he's not, he's got great hair for Thom. He shares Thom's dignified-and-broody vibe, too, which I like.
RUAIRI O'CONNOR - HENRY VIII (THE SPANISH PRINCESS)
O'Connor was in his late 20s when filming The Spanish Princess. There is ample footage of him both clean-shaven and with a beard. Since he's playing a king, his clothes are mostly too lavish for Thom, but they can work if you pick your footage carefully, and Henry VIII definitely lends himself to Thom's mercurial nature.
EDDIE REDMAYNE - JACK JACKSON (PILLARS OF THE EARTH)
Redmayne was also in his late 20s in this role. His hair is more auburn than copper, although it varies by shot. Clothing is 12th century English, and Redmayne definitely has Thom's brooding vibe.
TOM HIDDLESTON - HAL/HENRY V (THE HOLLOW CROWN)
So Hiddleston's character in The Hollow Crown is basically nothing at all like Thom, but there are still moments the vibe feels right. He's a primary character in three episodes, so there's ample footage of him (both clean-shaven and with a short beard!) At roughly 30 during filming he's far older than Thom ever got, but I still like him as a fancast.
If you've got any additions, or any requests for other characters to do, please let me know! The full series can be found here.
