Although the longbow may best be known for its deployment during the Hundred Years' War, its origins lie with ancient Saxon seafighters and Welsh craftsmen. This book presents the story of this weapon. It describes the bow's use in medieval hunts and associated customs, and follows the weapon's development and tactical deployment.
