What did an archer do in Middle Ages?

Many archers were yeomen who made their livings by working their own farms and were only called to service as needed. Their responsibilities as archers were to practice regularly and to be available as needed. In battle, of course, they used their skills to defend their lords or monarchs. Their place on the land required them to be archers by law. In some countries, archers were mercenaries, who were hired to practice and fight as needed. Their duties were prescribed as needed at the time they were hired, and varied from one situation to another.

How much did a middle age archer get paid?

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.
