It is a delight to read a book which recognises the importance of
warfare in medieval times and describes a highly important element
in the fighting, the use of archers, illustrating it with clear
accounts of a long series of battles in which archery played a
part, and which also, to satisfy modern historiographical tastes,
discusses the changing role of the archer in medieval society.
*SUNDAY TELEGRAPH*
A work of very considerable value to all those interested in
medieval military history. He does full justice to the role the bow
and the archer played in medieval history, and ably discusses the
ambivalent attitude of the great and powerful towards the common
archer.
*GUY WILSON, MASTER OF THE ARMOURIES, ROYAL ARMOURIES*
