Handgunner

A medieval handgunner. The handgunner became more common towards the end of the Hundred Years War. The French utilised numbers of handgunners and were able to nullify the unquestioned battlefield supremacy of the English longbowmen through a variety of means including refusing battle.


'Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give'
Depeche Mode 'Precious'
