I have removed the references to archers. They are based on Wishart's use of the the term 'saggitarii', which, though it does strictly mean 'archers' would be more accurately translated as 'irregular' infantry. Had the Roayalist army really deployed archers it would be remarkable that no-one - apart from Wishart - took notice. I would be perfectly happy to see the term 'archers' restored if better evidence for their employment can be produced. (Dr.) Chris Brown.
