520 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.
