Thanks, very good summary. A ship’s company, of any age, are almost among the most diverse of any group of people than can be imagined. On the other hand, the soldiers aboard Mary Rose were likely English, especially the archers. I’m guessing that this individual was a mariner.
Archers must have been transitioned to rifles in a fairly short interval, after having been crucial so many times. The Battle of Towton featured I forget how many archers, and the eventual winning side was firing with the wind, and recycling opponents’ arrows. That’s one reason it was such a bloodbath. Oh, and it was snowing, and the snow was blowing right in the losing side’s faces.
