The bowtie was widely considered the most potent of medieval bows, but the wrapping bow is often looked over.
Bowing to the king or queen was usual.

Middle ages and medieval are the same, just different terms for the same time frame. Yes, the long bow was used.
Science and technology have been a part of human history even before the middle ages. The bow and arrow, irrigation, metalurgy, astronomy etc. If you're asking when the dark ages ended than look up The Reinassance.
The middle of the bow is called the belly. If you have a recurve bow ( a dismantable bow if you didn't know that curves up at the ends) then there are three parts; upper limb, lower limb, and of course the belly. Enjoy...
Blimey, beavers were commonly killed by bow and arrow in middle ages. This caused the beaver pelt significant damage. Pelts were removed and sold on the black market, leaving only the meat. Beaver meat was soaked in saline solution for a week at a time to kill parasites. After being soaked the men often grilled or boiled the beaver meat and enjoyed a feast of the ages!
Depends on the time period. Cannon, swords, farm tools, axes, long bow, pikes, spears, siege towers, are some that were used.
Yes there were saws in the middle ages, but the handsaw wasn't used until the 19th century. In the middle ages a long handsaw was used to saw wood lengthwise, but it disappeared sometime in the 16th century. The French used bow saws all the way into the early 20th century.

There castles were made of stone and stone was the strongest of all materials in medieval times. The Knights had Bow and Arrows or Swords and Daggers. No guns at all because they were not invented then so they had no clue what they were. The weapons were steel if they were lucky most were wood or stone.
As i have seen the most expensive compound bow is the moon bow which is about $2000
The yew tree is one of Britain's three native coniferous trees that has an elasticity making it ideal for bow making in the Middle Ages. Its flexible yet strong wood allowed for the creation of powerful longbows, which were highly valued in archery. Yew wood's unique properties contributed to its popularity among bowyers, especially during the medieval period when longbows played a crucial role in warfare.
