At that time the English Bowmen were the a deadly threat to the French so when they were captured the French cut off the two bow fingers

How does sweetcorn grow?
Sweetcorn grows up to 30cm tall above the ground but the actual fruit is underneatch the ground. The actual fruit grows up to about 50 cm long! to check if it is ready you should stick your fingers onto the fruit where the above ground part connects to the soil. Then pull it up an inch if the sweetcorn is hard to get out it means that it has grown if it comes out easily it would not have grown fully
Can a HOCKEY player score a goal with an opposing players stick?
Yes. There is a rule in the NHL where if you drop your stick, you can pick up any other stick on the ice provided it isn't broken. If that stick happens to be an opposing player's stick you can score a goal with it. This has actually happened once or twice. One that I recall was where one player dropped his stick and then proceeded to rip one of his opponent's sticks out of his hand. Not getting a call from the ref for doing this, the opponent picked up the stick on the ice and then scored with it.
