The longbow and the archer occupy a special place in English history. For over 200 years English armies across Europe dominated battlefields with a weapon that was as effective as it was simple: the longbow. Paul Knight assesses the rise of the longbow from a minor weapon in the Anglo-Saxon, Viking and Norman armies.
