England had 12,000 with 7,000 of them being bowman.

14. Factors leading to the end of Feudalism
The Crusades helped by uniting the knights against a common enemy.
The Magna Carta limited the power of kings.
But the main factor in the end of feudalism though was the Black Death.
Dang you Magna Carta… I used to be so buff!

15. Job Specialization
As with most medieval cultures, most Europeans were farmers.
As time went on though more and more jobs were available.
People could start making money and no longer had to rely so heavily on the feudal lords.
