John Bowyer of Framlingham, Suffok, England, would have been born between 1328 and 1332. Born as the third son to William and Anna Bowyer. William was a yeoman holding 100 acres of ground along with sheep, cattle and oxen, while Anna produced breads and cheeses for trade at the market. In 1339, the sweating sickness struck down William and Anna. John's oldest brother inherited the land and animals, and his sister left to join the Augustinian Nunnery near Flixton, Suffolk. With little left for John, he was packaged off to his grandfather, Godfryd. Godfryd was a man of the woods. Hired by local nobles to patrol their lands preventing poaching, controlling swineherds and herders amongst the forrest and land. Godfryd was also a veteran of many campaigns and was well regarded as a bowyer and archer. In time, Godfryd took John under his wing and taught him the traits of an archer and the trade of a bowyer. As the war rumbles in the East between England and France, John takes leave of his grandfather vowing to return with riches from France. In Ipswich, Suffolk, John makes his mark on the rolls and joins a company of archers and enters the Kings Army. | |||
