About bigbowbrum
Hi. I'm Nick Birmingham and welcome to the YouTube home of the "Free Company of Aquitaine". Based in Southampton and London, we are one of the few groups in England to research, practise and demonstrate the abilities and realities of the Medieval military archer of the period later known as the Hundred Years War (1337 - 1453).
We model ourselves on the many companies of mercenaries that sprang up in France after the Treaty of Bretigny (1360 - 1369), and take our name from the ancient region of Aquitaine in south-western France, an English possession from the time of Henry II up to the end of the war.
If you have a question about any of my videos, or of anything to do with longbow archery, then please feel free to pm me, or add a comment. All I ask is that you read through the other comments first, as I often get asked the same question over and over, despite the answer being clearly posted below.
Many thanks.
