Early gunpowder in the Middle Ages is coarse and crude and burned slowly with minimal blasting effects. As the English people learned how to refine their powder, their once simple cannons, became powerful weapons capable of taking out castle defense whilst attacking. Eventually guns became developed and the power of the Knight of the Battlefield, waned.
