MEDIEVAL WEAPONS. BY TEIVA

This is a battle ready sword. Some medieval swords were five feet or more. A 2 handed sword could cut though mail and bone.



This is soldier is on the back of a horse holding a spear and with armour on so he doesn't get killed or wounded by the other people who are attacking him.













THE LONG BOW.
The English longbow, also called the Welsh longbow, was a powerful type of medieval longbow (a tall bow for archery) about 6 ft (1.83 m) long used by the English and Welsh, both for hunting and as a weapon in medieval warfare. English use of longbows was effective against the French during the Hundred Years' War, particularly at the start of the war in the battles of Crecy (1346) and Poitiers (1356), and most famously at the Battle of Agincourt. A longbow must be long enough to allow its user to draw the string to a point on the face or body, and the length therefore varies with the user.
