When in the middle ages was the crossbow introduced?
The oldest records of crossbows are from China and Greece of about the same period, about the 5th century BC, and we have no idea where they actually originated. They were used by the ancient Romans and were known throughout the Roman Empire. They possibly remained in use in the Middle Ages from Roman times, but we have little direct evidence of their use between the beginning of the Middle Ages and the Battle of Hastings in 1066, where they were recorded to have been used. Crossbows became more widely used as the Middle Ages progressed, though not in Britain. There were reasons for this relating to policy. Longbows were easier to make than crossbows, but they required far more training. In order to keep a body of men who could be archers, it was necessary for the peasants to be armed at all times, so they could practice regularly. The English were willing to do this, despite the fact that it put a certain amount of power into the hands of common people. Crossbows became more prevalent on the continent when rulers got wealthy enough that it became possible buy large quantities of crossbows. The crossbows were expensive, but the archers could be trained in a matter of as little as a week.
