Noble Friends, Especially Fellow Archers
Today marks the 668th anniversary of the Battle of Crécy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Crécy . The lopsided victory by
Edward III's English army over the much larger French force proved the
superiority English longbow over armored knights. Unfortunately for the
French, they took a long time learning to stay out of the longbow's
range, and suffered many more defeats in the 100 Years War, including
Poitiers and Agincourt.
Yours Aye,
Lord Mungo Napier, The Archer of Mallard Lodge
