Archery in medieval Portugal
I was wondering if someone had any info they could share on bow types used in medieval Portugal (1000-1400)....Did the military and civilian population used some form of composite/recurve bow introduced by the Moors? Thank You---John
Its a long period but I can say that Richard II sent 800 English archers over in the 1380's so they would have been longbow equipped. We've been allies with Portugal for a long time and English soldiers were often present so there may be some influence there.
