The longbow was often labeled a "coward's weapon" because it allowed relatively untrained soldiers to kill opponents from a distance, rather than engaging in close combat, which was viewed as more honorable and brave. Critics believed that this reliance on ranged attacks undermined the valor associated with traditional hand-to-hand fighting. Additionally, the longbow’s effectiveness could allow for greater casualties without risking the archer's life, fostering a perception that it was a tool for the less courageous. This sentiment was particularly prevalent among knights and noble warriors, who valued personal combat and chivalry.
