Post; Medieval battle records go online


This may be of interest

Quote:
The detailed service records of 250,000 medieval soldiers - including archers who served with Henry V at the Battle of Agincourt - have gone online.
The database of those who fought in the Hundred Years War reveals salaries, sickness records and who was knighted.

What a wonderful find Perseus! Were any of your lot capable of stretching a long-bow? I don't think mine would have been tall enough. I have heard that mine lived in the Eng/Scots Borders, both sides and fought on both sides, often against each other.

Unfortunately, I cannot find the link where you can actually access it, can anyone else? Searched the National records office which seems to be the obvious place.

hah nevermind 6/8 of mine were archers, other 2 are men at arms, and just one being an Esquire, i wish it involved all spellings of your last name since people spelled things out by sound at this point in time so mispellings were common

Thanks Monty. It's a strange thing the Internet when someone from 10 000 miles away helps me to find something which is actually 10 miles distant!

Great find and , also, much appreciated the work that went into it!

I have already around 50 ideas how to explore and to make use of it... in winter...
