Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't archers leave more armored men wounded than killed? And then they were typically wounded, captured, and ransomed back?
My understanding is that that is why Agincourt was SO devastating to the French. Not only did they lose a large army, but many of the wounded and captured aristocracy were executed when the English feared they were being flanked through the woods and attacked from the behind.
Again, armchair history buff, so correct me if I am wrong.
