The Incredible Medieval Weapon that Shook the Power of Knights (any commoner could use it)

Описание: The medieval crossbow was more than just a weapon — it was a revolution. Feared by knights, condemned by the Church, and wielded by common soldiers who suddenly held the power to challenge the elite, the crossbow reshaped medieval warfare in ways few weapons ever have.

In this video, we explore the full story of the crossbow: its ancient origins, its rise across Europe, the shocking impact it had on armored knights, the elite Genoese crossbowmen who mastered it, and the legendary battles where it changed the course of history — including the dramatic clash at the Battle of Crécy. From siege warfare to naval combat, from technological innovations to social upheaval, the crossbow was the ultimate medieval equalizer.

You’ll see how this compact mechanical device forced kingdoms to redesign their castles, pushed armorers into an arms race, and redefined who held power on the battlefield. We also examine how the crossbow influenced the fall of traditional feudal structures, challenged the supremacy of noble cavalry, and paved the way for the rise of professional infantry and early gunpowder warfare.

Whether you love medieval history, military technology, or stories about how small inventions can reshape entire civilizations, this is one of the most important weapons you’ll ever learn about.
