How were British monarchs educated about military strategy in the Middle Ages and early modern period?

The great writers of antiquity, e.g. Vegetius. Basically, everything that survived the fall of the Western Roman Empire and that was preserved via medieval manuscripts.
As an example, this article on the logistics of the Anglo-Saxon kings makes an argument that what the kings actually did in terms of strategy follows the lines of thought that can be found in Vegetius and other antique authors.
Sorry for the broad answer, however, as it stands at the time of writing, the question is similarly broad.
