Antiquity of Archery Through Ages and Wars
The bow traces to ancient times with Ishmael the archer noted in Genesis. England saw its introduction under Egbert, limited use under Edward, and peak fame during Henry V as longbows shattered French cavalry. At Flodden Field English archers also caused great havoc. The pastime grew fashionable in Henry VIII’s era, then declined after Devizes siege in 1647. Archery derives its name from the bow’s arched shape.
