Medieval archery was a cornerstone of warfare, shaping the course of battles and sieges across Europe. Skilled archers, often trained from a young age, played a pivotal role in armies. Longbows, made from yew or other sturdy woods, were favored for their power and range. Arrowheads varied from broadheads for piercing armor to bodkin points for penetrating mail. Archers were versatile, adapting to different terrains and tactics, from open field battles to castle sieges. The English longbowmen, notably at the Battle of Agincourt, showcased the devastating impact a well-organized archer force could have on heavily armored opponents. Medieval archery's legacy endures, revered for its precision, discipline, and its role in shaping medieval warfare.
