That depends on the precise time period and the archer's status. Some archers were mercenary troops from Wales or Flanders; others were permanent members of a knight's retinue; others were royal archers employed by the king; others were simply ordinary working peasants called up for military service.
When performing castle guard duty in the 12th century, a serjant (freeman) archer received 1 penny per day - a knight received 8 pennies a day while doing castle guard duty, which was universally hated.
In 1136 the king's archers (men who went hunting deer and wild boar with the king and also carried the king's bow) received 5 pence per day; at the same date a royal cook got 1.5 pennies per day.
These were solid silver pennies about 20 mm across and of very high silver content, so a single penny was worth a considerable amount in today's terms.
The wages for common soldiers such as archers varied by time and place. As an example, however, at Dover castle in England in the 13th century archers and spear men were paid two pennies daily, as well as room and board in the garrison. Crossbowmen, considered elite troops, were paid more. At Dover this was 3 pennies per day, in other locations more.

The Middle Ages was known as the Age of?
1st answer:Dark ages or middle ages. No "age of"2nd answer:There are those who call the Middle Ages the Age of FaithThe Middle Ages are sometimes called the Age of Darkness, which I believe is a poor name for the period.Within the Middle Ages was a period sometimes called the Age of Chivalry, and another age, with somewhat different connotations but possibly similar dates, called the Age of the Mounted Knight.Also within the Middle Ages were several ages called renaissances. Among these were the Carolingian Renaissance, the Islamic Renaissance, the Ottonian Renaissance, the Macedonian Renaissance, the Renaissance of the 12th Century, and the first half or so of the European Renaissance. In fact nearly all of the time after about 700 AD fell into one or more of these periods.I have heard the Late Middle Ages (1300-1453) called the Age of the Longbow.Depending on how you define the Middle Ages, they included all or important parts of the Age of Migrations (about 300 to 700 AD).
