The Most Devastating Medieval Weapon! #shorts #history

The longbow is a remarkable weapon and its invention revolutionized medieval warfare. Developed in England and Wales in the late 12th century, the longbow was famous for its long, slender design and the use of very strong but flexible yew wood. The defining feature of the longbow was it's long draw length, this increased the potential energy stored in the bow, resulting in devastating velocities. Becoming a skilled longbowman was a long and arduous process that involved years of training and practice. Boys often began their training from a young age. This made Longbowmen immensely strong. The draw weight of a longbow was 180 pounds and able to hit armoured knights at 1000 feet away. It's usage was instrumental in several historic battles, such as the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, where heavily outnumbered English longbowmen defeated thousands of French knights.
