Was listening to what must have been this on the radio the other day, super information released and it seems much more to be released when the Mary Rose is opened to the public.
He spoke a lot of the deformities of the archers bodies mostly due to the stress of the training and the weight required pulling the longbow and how this caused some of the deformities.
The longbow must have been a fearsome weapon.

I've read all but the latest Thomas of Hookton books by Bernard Cornwell, so this article quickly caught my eye. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
