A blast from my past - the Medieval Soldier database takes nearly 300,000 military service records from 1369-1453 and makes them available as a searchable database. An invaluable resource for understanding medieval warfare, society and the English medieval state. Learn more in the link. 🗃️

We built a database of 290,000 English medieval soldiers – here’s what it reveals

We created the database in order to challenge assumptions about the lack of professionalism of everyday soldiers.
