Archer
Role Description____________________________________Medieval Archers and foot soldiers were peasants. They wore ordinary clothes which were reinforced with leather patches, strips of metal or quilted cloth. The bow and arrow was a good weapon to shoot from a distance but as the battle drew closer the archers would enter the fray with any weapons they could muster. A dagger at best, a farm implement or home made weapon at worst.
