In With a Bended Bow Erik Roth presents a comprehensive examination
of the archer and his weapon in a time when archery was both
economically and militarily vital to the security of England, based
on the study of mediaeval writings and period artefacts. As an
accomplished artist, his illustrations are an invaluable aid to
understanding the manufacture and use of the bow. The book examines
the types of weapons and kit produced by guildsmen, the materials
used and the work of different specialists including bowyers,
fletchers and stringers. It also details the life of the archer
himself, how he cared for his equipment, learned to shoot and
fought for his country on the battlefields of Scotland and France.
With a Bended Bow gives an exceptional insight into the tools,
training and fighting techniques of the soldier who defined
mediaeval warfare.
