EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 15th century image captures the pivotal moment when the era of medieval warfare began to shift, as a soldier stands ready to engage with both a crossbow and one of the first cannons ever used. The Wars of the Roses, a series of civil conflicts waged for the English throne between the houses of Lancaster and York, marked the transition from the knightly dominance of the battlefield to the increasing importance of artillery. The soldier's determined expression and meticulously crafted armor underscore the significance of this turning point. The crossbow, a long-range and deadly weapon, had long been a formidable force in medieval warfare. However, the introduction of cannons, with their immense destructive power and ability to breach fortified walls, revolutionized the battlefield. The soldier's dexterity in handling both weapons highlights the versatility and adaptability required of soldiers during this period. The cannon, a new invention, is shown here in its early stages of development. Its large size and intricate design indicate the extensive resources and expertise required to construct it. The soldier holds the cannon's massive trigger, preparing to ignite the explosive charge that will send a heavy projectile hurtling towards its target. The smoke rising from the cannon's muzzle and the soldier's protective helmet and armor suggest the imminent danger and chaos of the battlefield. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the complex and transformative period of the Wars of the Roses, when the balance of power on the battlefield began to shift from the sword to the cannon.
