His name is Sebastian van Bosch and he was born in one of the four capital cities of de Duchy of Brabant, s-Hertogenbosch (Dukes Forest"), sometime in the second half of the 14th Century.His parents named him after the patron saint of the archers: Saint Sebastian. They really hoped he would make a great fortune and become a member of the Guild of the Hand bow Archers in town.His family decided that he should go to England. Because of the expanding wool market. He just might buy some quality stuff there and sell it here at the market. From the start things went wrong. The weather was bad and the captain very drunk and at sea they got lost in the storm, during which pirates took the ship and brought them to the English shore. He learned how to use a long bow, a weapon he had heard of.. Of course also a lot of banging on heads was involved, even his one, so in the course of time he forgot about his hometown.
