I'm interested in finding out what terminology would be used for ordering archers in a Medieval battle. I know it's anachronistic to use 'fire' and 'ceasefire' and all. And I've seen and read people using terms like 'loose'
I've read these terms were used by English Longbowmen
"Ready your bows!"
"Nock!"
"Mark!"
"Draw!"
"Loose!"
But what would be the order to tell them to stop shooting?
Most likely there were no such orders at all. Volley fire is an anachronism when we're talking about Medieval warfare. Have a look at this older answer by u/Hergrim for more details!
