Nothing
I tried it out with the surname “Kerry”.
No hits - but of course he was in Cambodia in 1346.
Nothing under my surname (English). My grandmother’s surname (Scottish) showed 39 members. No idea whether they are related, as our family history only goes back to the 1760s.....

I don’t know, but based on the fact that they were white and I’m white I want reparations and an apology.
This is a possible.
My relatives were archers.
Three possibles. All were archers.
Akk. Twelve of mine were there.
Thanks for posting it. My daughter’s surname came up with three fellows, all archers, stationed in Ireland. I would think there is some connection.
Here is a simple quiz to determine if you had an ancestor who served in the hundred year’s war:
1. DO YOU HAVE ANY BRITISH OR FRENCH ANCESTRY?
If yes, you did have ancestors in the 100 years war. In fact, you are descended from most of the soldiers who served in the war on whatever side your ancestry fell.
Assume one new generation every 25 years. (For medieval times, that may be to0 long a time period, but we’re being conservative here.) We would thus have about 27 generations since 1347.
How many ancestors does one have 27 generations back? Two to the 27th power is about 128 million, which is far larger than the population of England and France of the time. The estimation for the entire population of Europe in 1347 was 75 million. About a third of those died in the black plague shortly thereafter.
Of course, you would be descended from some people in multiple ways and others not at all. But the overwhelming odds are that you would be descended from most of the people alive in 1347 from your ancestral country.
Could be a match considering we already trace the family surname back thirteenth generation to an ancestors in Parish of All Hallows County of Kent, England, who died in 1485...

Class of 1417 rules!
I searched under surname for paternal and maternal with all spellings but got no hits.
fourteen possibles all archers except for one man at arms. very cool post!
Too many hits for me to narrow it down, and I only searched one of the family names. I sent the link to my dad who’s very into all that.
I’ve got one, an archer, under Richard FitzAlan, Earl of Arundel. Described as a naval expedition?
