Best Answer

The Normans did not have cannon at The Battle of Hastings.

Cannon are derived from fire lances. The first known use of fire lances was at Da'en (in Jiangxi province China) in 1132. It isn't known exactly when the first gun capable of firing a projectile was developed.

The first documented use of cannon in Europe was at the siege of Cordoba (Spain) in 1280.
