Description
The Medieval Archer by Jim Bradbury explores the history of the archer in medieval society from the 11th to the 15th century. This study delves into military tactics and examines the changing role of the archer, shedding light on their importance in warfare during this period. Bradbury's work reveals that the archer's prominence in the fourteenth century was not solely due to the introduction of the longbow, but rather a result of changes in military tactics. The book also investigates the archer's position in society, including their relationship with figures like Robin Hood. Finally, it chronicles the rise of the handgun as the major infantry weapon, marking the decline of the bow. Jim Bradbury is an expert on battles and warfare in England and France during the Middle Ages, bringing a wealth of knowledge to this study of the medieval archer.
