Description
Three primary-source tracts relating to military archery in seventeenth century England are brought together in this volume. These include William Neade's Double-Armed Man, Gervase Markham's Art of Archerie, and an anonymous pamphlet promoting explosive fire-arrows. The book provides an introduction to the use of the bow by English armies in the Anglo-French war and the English Civil Wars.
The publication offers a unique insight into the tactics and techniques employed by English archers during this period. By examining these primary sources, readers can gain a better understanding of the role of the bow in military history.
First published in 2015, this edition provides a valuable resource for historians and enthusiasts of military archery.
