The Mongol Hornbow was superior, but took much longer to make. They wouldn't of been able to produce as much Mongol bows as they could the Welsh/English Longbow.

Hmmmm Edward like most of the English Aristo's was Norman/French spoke French and lived according to French custom, this was a war between a Norman/French King and a French King over who would control France. For Edward England was a great place to raise armies and tax, that was about it. I love the way modern nations try to lay claim to the old aristo's, as if they have something in common. They were a race apart, to imagine the King of England was anything but self serving is ridiculous.

They did steal it. They saw how effective the Longbow was first hand, used in that great medieval tradition, the Welsh ambush. Thusly impressed, the Longbow was introduced slowly but surely into England, used on a scale seemingly unthought of by the Welsh kingdoms. I'd say that yes, in the later parts of the 14th, 15th and indeed 16th centuries the English of certain regions were of a higher skill than many of their Welsh neighbours; if only because they were bound by law to practice regularly.
