England Gets All Medieval

From the BBC:
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 full profiles of soldiers from 1369 to 1453 will allow researchers to piece together details of their lives.
Search the online databases here. There are lots of Lawtons - most of 'em were archers or men at arms. The first time I ever shot a real arrow with a real bow I hit a bulls-eye. Hmm.
