Norman weapons (Large Print)
This page has three images on it: a bow and arrow on the left, a flail at the bottom centre and a crossbow on the right. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The string of the bow is held under tension at the far left of the page. Halfway down the length of the string, the end of the arrow can be found with its fletchings (feathers), which stabilize its flight. The arrow extends to the right, passing over the handle of the bow and ending in a sharp pointed head. When the string is released, it throws the arrow forward with great force; it can travel for a distance of more than a kilometre. At the bottom centre of the page is a deadly flail. At the top of the image there is a loop with a chain hanging down from it. At the other end of the chain is a heavy metal spiked ball, at the bottom of the page. The handle of the flail is to the right of this and is used to swing the ball. It was a fearsome weapon that could pierce body armour but was not much favoured, as the sword was held in such high esteem.On the right of the page is a crossbow facing towards the top of the page. It is a small bow fixed to a stock (handle) and has a trigger (this cannot be seen in the diagram) that when pulled, releases the string and throws the bolt (small arrow) forward. The head of the bolt is at the top of the image and further down the bow extends to each side. Its taut string is fixed to each end and held in the middle of the stock, down from the fletchings (feathers) of the bolt. At the bottom of the page is the stock of the crossbow.
