A single stone stands on a hill at Henley-in-Arden, Warwickshire. It's the only remnant of what was once a huge medieval castle. So where is the rest of this once-proud stronghold? Time Team has the usual three days to find out.

A lot of people take Tonys' antics and perceived impatience way to seriously. His job as show host is to provide a link between the academics and the lay-person. His 'impatient questions' are a tool to get the person to further explain what is going on and *gasp* why they are doing it! They are a way to move onto another subject or to keep the conversation going and the information flowing. Please, cut the guy a little bit of slack and see him for what he is; A link between the archeology and the viewing public. ;^)

That bow vs crossbow contest was utter rot. A bow took years to learn and decades to master. The crossbow on the other hand can be picked up and shot accurately by just about any one strong enough to span it. It's not about speed in shooting the weapon but how long it took to learn to use it accurately. The crossbow made it possible for a peon to pick up a weapon and kill the lords and their knights.
@RagPlaysGames3 жыл бұрын
Other way round. The contest was crap because the Crossbow used was poorly made with a low draw-weight, probably by an amateur given it was the early 2000s. You're correct that the crossbow can be picked up and used easily, but you're over-estimating how hard it is to train longbow, the English in particular were obligated by law to practice Longbow every Sunday, that included the peasants. You're also overlooking that cost and maintenance also come into play. Crossbows are more mechanically complicated to make and maintain than a Longbow. Parts of them are steel, meaning you have to worry about rust, the strings are far more prone to shrinking and loosening factoring in weather conditions. They aren't peasant weapons. They're expensive mechanical devices even to this day. Their benefit lays in the hands of professional mercenary forces like the Genoese, with rich paymasters backing them. A longbow will kill a knight as easily as a crossbow, at a cheaper cost. It's always faster, and often more devastating due to the length of its powerstroke, from ear to hand. The crossbow compensates for it's lacking powerstroke by mechanics and a string that's under far greater tension, but in turn that string needs yet another piece of complex steel machinery to even prime it. The more powerful the crossbow, the longer it takes to shoot, to the point where you're probably going to be using two, with a retainer doing the heavy lifting of the reload to maintain a decent rate of shot. That's double the cost of something that was already more expensive, plus the cost of paying the other man to load/reload. About the only real benefit the crossbow has, aside from ease of training, is the ability to always have a shot readied because the nut locks the string in place until the trigger arm is squeezed.

The crossbow was mainly used inside the castles from the slits. The castle defenses gave the cover for the time needed to reload the bow. In the hands of a good archer they were ultimately more accurate that the longbow but they took much more time to reload.They were the equivalent of an assassins rifle. The crossbow shown on the footage was actually quite small. A lot of the original crossbows were much bigger. The longbow on the other hand was very powerful and shot straight at a target they could inflict an incredible amount of damage. Having done archery myself I know that to be able to set up and shoot this strength bow you needed to have very strong arms and necks. The image shown in movies of thin and weak archers is rubbish. They were heavily built and I am sure that they carried swords as well because faced with hand to hand combat their strength would not only show them to be good archers but also good soldiers.

They only briefly touched on the crossbow's main advantage. It took a bowman years of practice to build up the required strength to accurately shoot a 150 pound bow. It was almost a profession in itself. You could develop a decent crossbow archer in a week or two. So your everyday farmer or townsman could become deadly in between their busy seasons and still make a significant contribution in times of conflict. It's almost the difference between a career soldier and a militiaman.

So, no mention of a castle by 1473, and the last mention is in 1415. It looks like the castle declined between 1415 and 1473 then. Given Sir Ralph was focussed on rebuilding Sudeley Castle in 1442+, perhaps he robbed Beaudesert to help build it?

According to the best records available the Yew Longbow took many years to master properly and a good bowman could loose 10 to 12 arrows a minute because of the time and strength needed to bend the bow which was usually around the 150 lb pull, while the training to use a crossbow was only a few weeks. To keep a good supply of bowman required permanently employed bowman and was expensive while anyone could called up and taught to use the crossbow. Also the yew longbow had a greater range.

"Most Medieval archers used bows made from you." I have a couple of issues with this: how/when do they intend to get hold of me? And, though I appreciate their admiration of my attributes, why me specifically?

Most of the humbler folk from the past would probably think archeologists were all daft. They must have thought it very funny that we could get so excited to find their broken rubbish and pig’s jaws. The higher status individuals might have said, “well, of course! How could anyone fail to be interested in our lives?” Speculation and conjecture, to be sure. And sweeping generalizations. So don’t come down on me. Just having fun.

Donna Perez I googled too. No reference to him anywhere in relation to a castle. The guy is now in his nineties. I don't think he will do anything. I don't know why. Probably the view of the castle was a bit disappointing (not resembling the castle in Disneyland?). Furthermore he would neve have gotten permission anyway. If you like newbuilt castle, go to Elzass region in France where the German emperor built a exact copy of a huge medeaval castle with everything in it in the 19th century. Splendid stuff.

I thought the idea in rather bad taste, though I'm sure his heart was in the right place. In order to build a replica they would endanger the actual remains underneath. There's no way it could be done. In most other cases of similar types, some of the castle was still standing, enough so that it could be called restoring, but with a clear distinction made between the modern restoration and the actual old building. That is if you have respect for historical authenticity. I would also assume that if you bought a scheduled property privately, that the legal limits as to what you may or may not do with that property are made absolutely clear.
@davidpowell54376 жыл бұрын
I think most of us have had a "Wouldn't it be nice to..." moment and fairly shortly reconsidered! Wouldn't make any difference in this case - permission would never have been forthcoming. If you would like to see fortifications that have been substantially reconstructed, as opposed to conservation and stabilisation, visit Pembroke castle and see how you feel about the reconstructed bits of the curtain wall. Kids love racing through it, but...

I think the big thing with the crossbow is you don't need years of training to use it. Anyone can. SO while a few hundred longbowmen are better individually, a few thousands peasants with crossbows will win.

You wouldnt crenelate a wall and have no battlements behind it. Its either a design feature to look nice or a defensive feature, no battlements means its not defensive and it while beautiful at the time there was a need to be defensive.

Remember that there were no machines to do the work back then. Everything was done by muscle power and people were doing hard physical work from childhood, so they were stronger than we are now.

By constantly training and building your muscles to overcome the tension of the bow. When they found Henry the VIII’s warship, the Mary Rose, they were able to identified the bones of the longbow men by the flattened ulna and radius of the forearm. The flattening resulted from the tension of the bow over years in the butts practicing.
