Fascinating history of a lethal weapon
By A Customer on February 14, 2001
Format: Paperback
The Medieval Archer traces the use of archery in English wars, from the Battle of Hastings, in 1066, to the Wars of the Roses which ended with the death of Richard III, the last Plantagenet king, in 1485.
The book has interesting details about a few English battles before the Norman Conquest and interesting details about crossbows, as well as the shortbows used on the Continent, but it really is about the English longbow, during the time it flourished.
The English longbow was very lethal, very fast shooting and cheap to make, but required great skill to use. It allowed small English armies to dominate larger French armies for a long time. The wonder was that English bowmen did not use such a potent weapon to sweep away their own kings and princes, or that slow-firing, less accurate gunpowder weapons were able to displace it so quickly.
Read this book and learn why.

An up-to-date classic
By Yuukale on January 22, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Jim Bradbury's The Medieval Archer indeed lives up to its reputation as the go-to book for archery, remaining historiographically relevant even after all these years since its publishing. His take on both the archer military and social roles are more than welcome on an academy that's still dominated by horsemanship prowess.

By Alois Schulz on December 30, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
O.K., nevertheless the book is almost about English and some of French archery only, which does not represent "the medieval archery" too much.
