Would there have been any women and children fighting in medieval battles?

I think I read or head about this from somewhere that children in medieval battles came in the form of archers due to their size and vulnerability to fight as foot soldiers. I'm not sure if this is the case though...

I did however, hear about women that took part on the third crusade during the siege of Acre in the late 13th century. But I'm not sure if this is true either... Apart from that, if anyone finds a link relating the the information above, please do inform me so.
