What happened to the Anglo Saxon who developed the long bow, taller than himself, that allowed an army of 9,000 footmen to lay waste to 27,000 French knights in armored horseback ?

Well (and this is only a guess) I would say that because that battle was fought over 700 years ago, in all probability... that AngloSaxon is dead. (Sarcasm off)
