Légende

Shooting at the Butt, 1496, (1843). Archers shoot at the parish butt for the prize, using the arbalest or cross-bow. It was a law that a butt should be erected in every township and the inhabitants were obliged to practise at them on Sundays and holidays, and were liable to fines for omitting to do so. From a manuscript containing a moral work, Imaginacion de vraye Noblesse, (1496). Illustration from Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages from the Seventh to the Seventeenth Centuries, by Henry Shaw, (London, 1843).
