: Yep, the only place in Britain with true Britons left.

: I'd just say that since the English had conqured them,
: they didn't have a choice.

: Np.

There's a problem though if they were merely conscripts.

It takes years of training to make a truely skilled longbowman.

I have a hard time immagining peasants conscripted from the fields and such picking up bows and becoming the legendary skilled longbowmen who could (with protection of spearmen or stakes in the ground or something) destroy formations of heavily armored knights.

Of course, after years of training their independant spirit might have been broken.
