Who invented the longbow?
1st AnswerThe longbow was actually founded and used by the English but it was really invented by the people of Wales. 2nd AnswerThe invention of the longbow is not historic, and dates back to neolithic times. The English longbow, which was developed in Wales, was more powerful than most others, but it was not unique. Another similar bow was used in Africa to hunt elephants. The English longbow was extremely powerful and had a 200 pound pull. It was as powerful as most crossbows, but an archer with a longbow could fire many more arrows in a given time than a crossbowman could.The thing that made the English longbow unusual on the field was not that it was in any way new, but that only English archers could shoot it. The training took years, so English archers had to train constantly, and this meant large numbers of serfs had to be armed constantly. This was something English monarchs felt they could allow, but continental monarchs were not willing to try.But the result of the widespread use and training, was that the English could field an army, quickly and easily, which had weapons capable of cutting right through armor at a very long distance, killing armored knights. English archers were capable of destroying formations of charging knights, killing and wounding large numbers of them, with very little loss of their own. This happened at a number of battles in the Hundred Years' War.
