1 A. Conan Doyle, The White Company, p. 79. During the course of a conversation between John of Hordle, Alleyne Edricson and Aylward, the veteran bowman, when they discussed the respective merits of the Scots and the French as foemen of the English.
2 The Black Death, a plague which struck Britain in 1349, swept away more than half of the three or four millions who then formed the population of England. So fierce were its assaults that the whole organisation oflabour was thrown out of gear and for a time even cultivation ceased. Nearly 60,000 people perished in Norwich, whilst in Bristol the living were hardly able to bury the dead. The respective numerical strengths of the French and English armies must be viewed in the light of this situation.
3 Meaning ‘barrow’ in Anglo-Saxon.
4 The Borough of Francheville is now known as Newtown, Isle of Wight. It is now a minute, decayed village but was once a populous and thriving town with a harbour. In its day it was superior in size and commercial prosperity to neighbouring Newport. It was sacked and burned many times during its early existence.
