The Yeoman has no picture in the Ellesmere MS, since he does not tell a tale. He is the Knight's only servant, yet he is a freeman and not a serf. He is an expert woodsman dressed all in green. What is more, he is an excellent archer who knows how to handle the famous English long bow. He is fully equipped with sword and buckler, dagger and horn.
