Provisioning

Question 1

How did provisions change

Answer 1

• Requisitioning: the crown supplied the army through compulsory purchase (purveyance). People forced to give supplies.
• Food provisioning didn’t work, armies had to steal and forage.
• The royal armoury was a store of weapons, 1/2 million arrows and 11,000 bows in 1360
• Baggage trains provided recourses for the army.
