In medieval England and Wales, ordinary men became skilled archers by defeating noble knights in battle. This was due to the Norman Conquest 150 years earlier, which transformed the English way of life and recognized their skills as invaluable in warfare.

The archer in medieval England emerged as a symbol of the indomitable spirit of the ordinary Englishman, reminiscent of the legendary John Bull. His captivating tale, depicted in popular literature, painted a romanticized picture of the lives and adventures of outlaws and poachers like Robin Hood. This remarkable transformation took place approximately 150 years after the tumultuous Norman Conquest, which had profound and often detrimental effects on the English way of life. This book, a pioneering account, delves into the everyday use of bows and arrows by ordinary men and explores how their exceptional skills were recognized and valued by the kings of England as crucial in warfare.
