Hi Erekose,
I have not come across the idea that the Saxon Fyrd used the bow in substantial amounts. Would be interested in your sources as I am doing some research in this area. I have read of some uses of the bow in hunting, but that is pretty much it. Happy to be corrected.
I concur with Bob. I have never seen any sources to support the idea of massed ranks of bowmen in Anglo Saxon/Anglo Danish England.
Of course, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, so I would love to hear what sources you are looking at too Erekose if at all possible please?
