>Про английское войско 14-15 веков переводят стандартно: 1000 men at arms, 3000 archers, totally 4000 soldiers - 1000 латников, 3000 лучников, всего 4000 солдат.
>Характерно, что у лучников крупных самостоятельных подразделений никогда не было, они всегда придавались подразделениям латников, даже если тех было небольшое меньшинство (порой 1/8 к концу Столетней войны).
THE BATTLE OF CRÉCY, 1346
Andrew Ayton and Sir Philip Preston Bart.
The English Army at Crecy
стр.189
Having surveyed the size and structure of the army that landed at La Hougue, it
would no doubt be helpful to summarise the conclusions that have been reached.
Analysis of the available records suggests that the army probably consisted of
about 14,000 fighting men. There may have been as many as 2,800 men-at-
arms, the majority being knights and esquires of gentle blood, serving in the
retinues of magnates, knights and royal servants. A similar number of mounted
archers and hobelars were also attached to these retinues.
Estimating the number of men in the companies that had been recruited in the English shires and towns and in the Welsh lordships is even more problematic, but based on the reasoning outlined above, it can be suggested that all told more than 8,000 men may have been provided from these sources. The great majority of these were foot
soldiers, and perhaps 5,000 were archers.
