Archers with English longbows, a powerful medieval weapon about 6 ft ( m) long used by the English in medieval warfare. The English use of longbows was particularly effective against the French during the Hundred Years' War, particularly at the start of the war in the battles of Sluys (1340), Crécy (1346), and Poitiers (1356), and perhaps most famously at the Battle of Agincourt (1415).
