520 An exceptional insight into the tools, training, and
fighting techniques of the kind of soldier who defined
medieval warfare Through centuries of war in Europe, the
English medieval archer was the most powerful force on the
battlefield. Based on the study of medieval writings and
period artefacts, this is 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. The author is an accomplished artist, and 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.
