How about the real Robin Hood
#13
Those old English long bows had crazy draw and could penetrate French Knights armour!

Children were encouraged to train in archery and after many years when they were adults their immense upper body strength could bend the yew 

Speaking of Robin Hood, Wardour castle is a couple of miles away from me and was used in a few scenes in the Kevin Costner movie

Even closer to me was a safe haven for the Order of Nights of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem in the early 1200s, they had other property in local village and Salisbury 

Now of course its a big converted barn in a small village that Top gears James May moved to

If you have Netflix, check out the relatively new film King. It’s pretty good
