The military archer's significance in the late medieval period is explored through the impact of the longbow, pivotal in English victories at Crecy and Agincourt. Richard Wadge delves into the manufacturing processes of longbows and the rigorous training of archers capable of drawing immense tension. The book also examines the economics of supplying these archers and the social implications of joining England's first professional army since Roman times, highlighting the allure of pay, plunder, and honor in shaping the lives of soldiers during this transformative era.
