Longbow (The Saga of Roland Inness Book 1)

Roland Innes has been taught how to make and use a longbow. While trying to get food for his family he runs afoul of the local barons son.
After humiliating him and seeing his father murdered as a result he flees his home, managing to fall in with another Norman knight as a squire.
Plenty more adventures ensue as the barons son sends an assassin after him, as well as meeting Frair Tuck and Robin of Loxley.
A good start to a series that has moments of suspense, some good humour and a decent amount of action.
