Where is this picture of Burgundian archers from? -- myArmoury.com

Luka Borscak

Anybody knows from which manuscript it is and what year it is? I'm interested in it because of the recurved longbows. Also, if anybody has other pictures of archers using recurved bows in medieval Europe, please, post. Happy

Thanks!

This antiphonarium from Lesser Poland/Bohemia (?) is generally dated late 13th century I believe.[/quote]

The picture is from Lucerne chronicle. It's the battle of Grandson.

Interesting, the archer seems to be bare legged.
