How was it that ordinary men in medieval England and Wales became
such skilled archers that they defeated noble knights in battle
after battle? The archer in medieval England became a forerunner of
John Bull as a symbol of the spirit of the ordinary Englishman. He
had his own popular literature that left us a romantic version of
the lives and activities of outlaws and poachers such as Robin
Hood. This remarkable development began 150 years after the
traumatic events of the Norman Conquest transformed the English way
of life, in ways that were almost never to the benefit of the
English. This book is the first account of the way ordinary men
used bows and arrows in their day-to-day lives, and the way that
their skills became recognised by the kings of England as
invaluable in warfare.
