One of the most devastating weapons in the medieval world was the crossbow. 

It evolved from early hand-held projectile weapons into a powerful tool of warfare that shaped battles for centuries.

It was one of the few weapons powerful enough to stop a fully armored knight.

Yet, despite its power, it wasn’t necessarily the most powerful ranged weapon on a battlefield and when something better came along, it was quickly replaced.

Learn more about the crossbow and how it influenced history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
