A leading expert on traditional archery offers insight into how the longbow was drawn from medieval sources to modern recreations.

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.

The book is about what happened to one man in the course of the Great War and it will certainly appeal to people interested in such things and to devotees of military history generally.

This fully updated second edition explains how the nearest relative is identified, and how in some cases he or she might be displaced. It also contains a wealth of new case examples and illustrative scenarios, providing a succinct discussion of each significant case and incorporating all the very latest changes to the Mental Health Act.
