About This Item
Barnes & Noble Books. Near Fine in Near Fine Dust Jacket. 2000. 1st America Edition. Hardcover. 0760720398 . Bibliography and index. The Medieval Archer is the go-to book for archery, remaining historiographically relevant even after all these years since its publishing. It 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. It has interesting details about a few English battles before the Norman Conquest and 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 required great skill to use. Date on flypage. Heavy underlining on pages 85, 86, 87. Part of a large estate of an avid reader and collector of books who obviously read every one of them, the clue being that they all have some amount of marginalia and underlining and the date read on the flypage. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 198 pages; 30244 .
