Hi All.

Another Medieval movie - set in 1215.

At first I thought Archers are and then I started to wonder?? Are they right or wrong?? 1215 is pre Edward I which was the beginning of the ascendancy of the English Longbow. So what is your opinion??

lot of Knife shop fantasy blades/axes.
Trebuchets seemed an awful long way away from the castle. Perfectly round shot being used.....I do not think even the Romans achieved that.
The attackers charge a very long way.
Longbows drawn under the chin. Not many archers and they were standing as far back as the heavy pieces.
Seen the film. Not a fan. Then again there are not many I love but most I enjoy.Very few would I watch more than once. Rather go shoot arrows myself or make them.
