Bowbearer
In Old English law, a Bowbearer was an under-officer of the forest who looked after all manner of trespass on vert or venison, and who attached, or caused to be attached, the offenders, in the feudal Court of Attachment.
The bow was a renowned English weapon, made of wood from the yew tree.
== Examples of the role==
The best-documented example of Bowbearers in England is to be found in the Forest of Bowland in north-eastern Lancashire.〔Cambridge History of the Lordship of Bowland http://www.forestofbowland.com/files/uploads/MartinsBlog/ESC%20SPEC%20WITH%20CORRECTIONS.pdf〕
In the late twelfth century, Oughtred de Bolton, son of Edwin de Bolton ("Edwinus Comes de Boelton" in the ''Domesday Book'') is described as an early Bowbearer in the royal forests of Bowland and Gilsland, at the time of Henry II. However, this account is flawed as the possibility of Oughtred being the son of Edwin is fanciful and cannot be substantiated. It would have been impossible for Oughtred to have been Bowbearer of Gilsland before the 1170s when the barony was first brought into the Norman realm. Prior to that, it had formed part of the kingdom of the Scots .〔http://www.kennedy-cousins.com/boulton.htm – cited to "Drysdale": "This family claims its descent from Oughtred de Bolton, by Bowland and Bolton upon Deane. Oughtred de Bolton, Bowbearer in the royal forests of Bowland and Gilsland, temp. Henry II was, according to Drysdale, a lineal descendant of the Saxon Earls of Mercia, and supposed to be the son of Edwin, living at the Norman Conquest, and three times mentioned in the ''Domesday Book'' as Edwinus Comes de Boelton".〕
