some other burgundian bows. The two bows which ar next to each other are exposed in the Jagd und Fischereimuseum of Munich. Both bows are from Lyon and they are from about 1700. But the basic style is still the same!

Nice photo's and an interesting subject....the problem is a lack of anything to add. My area is more English/Welsh Longbows, rather than Continental. I know that the French tried to raise a force of archers to match the English during the 100 years war...and some French towns still have festivals originaly started as archery contests at this time. Burgundy hired most of it's archers from Britain, and Anglo-Welsh archers served in Spain with the Black Prince, and in Italy with Hawkswood. Longbows in Germany is a new one to me, and something I will enquire about when next at the RAM.
