Question

What English weapon provided an advantage against the mounted French knights in the battles of Poitiers and Agincourt

Answer 1

Answer:

English use of longbows was effective against the French during the Hundred Years' War, particularly at the start of the war in the battles of Sluys (1340), Crécy (1346), and Poitiers (1356), and perhaps most famously at the Battle of Agincourt (1415).

Explanation:

Answer 2

The English Longbow provided an advantage against the mounted French knights in the battles of Poitiers and Agincourt.

The English longbow apart for use in hunting  served as a powerful Welsh in warfare during the medieval era. This was because they were

• Easy to make
• faster to shoot with accuracy
• very cheap

Notably, history has it that it was used  famously at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 and previously in the wars of the Sluys, Crécy and Poitiers in 1340,  1346, and 1356 respectively.

Through the ages, these longbows were no longer fully effective and sustainable due to the easy wear and tear of the bows and therefore were  been replaced in the 16th century to firearms made  of gunpowder.
