That was in 1600, much later middle ages time (end of the Tudors, which saw colonisation in America and mass gunpowder deployment before the battle.)Only 80 years after that battle Blackbeard would be alive. This battle is long after the era we are in, and population is far more than proper medieval times. But I will agree, though difficult to field it would be possible to have an army of 80,000

Gunpowder aside, most technology was roughly medieval. They were still farmers and shit. Hell, we got over 100,000 crusaders during I think the First Crusade, and that was in the early 12th century.
We are presumably in a larger country, and we're not hard medieval; we're high fantasy. Armies reaching hundreds of thousands is, if anything, expected.
