In the ‘Calendar of Patent Roles’ of 1396 – 1399, the Welsh marcher castle armoury of Chirk listed missile weapons of “divers bows of yew, holly, part of 2 catapults, arrows and cross-bows of no value” This document puts holly, yew and wych elm as bow woods categorically used in Wales in the middle ages.
