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
