| From the Mail Online: "For many of us the idea that our ancestors fought bloody battles with swords and bows and arrows. The service records of medieval soldiers have been made available in a new online database. The website contains 250,000 service records of soldiers who fought in the Hundred Years War between 1369 and 1453. It includes the names of archers who served with Henry V at Agincourt, meaning you could see if any of your relatives helped rout the French in the famous 1415 battle. The Medieval Soldier Database contains full profiles of individual soldiers, with muster roll evidence allowing researchers to piece together details of soldiers’ lives." Truly amazing that we have at our fingers tips the detailed soldier service records of 250,000 medieval warriors. Check out the database and see if your ancestor was a Knight, an Archer or Man-at-Arms: http://www.medievalsoldier.org Read the full article from the Mail here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1201096/Did-ancestors-fight-Agincourt-War-records-250-000-medieval-soldiers-online.html?ITO=1490 Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1201096/Did-ancestors-fight-Agincourt-War-records-250-000-medieval-soldiers-online.html?ITO=1490#ixzz0LwbDYNPl |

| This is really cool! I wish I had records of my family going back that far so that I could see if any of them are among those in the records. I'm afraid, I can't go back any further than about 1760... But a great resource, nonetheless. |
