Fritillaries are not easy and I suspect I have several wrong. I think we have Heath Fritillary, False Heath Fritillary, Queen of Spain Fritillary, Silver-washed Fritillary, Weaver's Fritillary, Provencal Fritillary and Spotted Frittilary in the garden.
The excellent Butterflies of France website has a very useful page devoted to identifying fritillaries from their underwing pattern.
With several species involved, each species has a page. Hover over the image below to find the species and then click to get to the relevant page.
The hardest seem to be seperating the ex-Mellicata species and so I have put together a special page for them.
