How were the weapons used in the First Crusade???


Though in the First Crusade there were not many weapons, the weapons that were used were used in a horrifying manner. There were siege weapons which could catapult rocks and arrows far distances; these were used to attack cities and buildings. They used knight equipment such as, swords and shields, swords were used to stab, cut limbs and kill the opposition, and shields were used to try to prevent this from happening.

  1. For those of you interested in weaponry I suggest Albion swords- I picked the Gaddhjalt. I will find a place that sells good ones for less money and report. Right now my projects are Knightly spurs from Hector Cole and a Great Helm from St George. Cole makes accurate arrowheads too..
