What was the longbow and how did it help the English on the hundreds years war?

The longbow was a powerful medieval weapon, typically made from yew wood, that could shoot arrows at great distances with impressive accuracy. Its effectiveness was crucial during the Hundred Years' War, particularly in battles like Crécy and Agincourt, where English archers decimated French forces before they could engage in close combat. The longbow allowed relatively untrained soldiers to inflict significant damage on heavily armored knights, shifting the balance of power in favor of the English. This innovation in military tactics contributed to several key English victories throughout the conflict.
