Your novel “Agincourt” (which I plan to order from Amazon) came up in a Google query I made about the phrase “shot the willow stick for Agincourt”. The phrase was in a tweet regarding archery, but when I attempted to look up longbows (which I knew were a featured weapon at Agincourt), I discovered that single wood longbows were mostly made out of yew, not willow. Do you have any insight into the phrase in quotes and what it might mean? My Google searches seem to return me to the original tweet, which isn’t all that helpful. I, by the way, truly enjoyed “The Winter King” and look forward to reading “Agincourt”. Thanks for any information that will scratch this itch of curiosity.
