The noblemen's army leaves the battlefield with their banners high, in this artistic impression about the end of the battle. They are going back home and leaving behind numerous piles of dead peasants who dared to oppose the insatiate greed of their masters with the only thing they really had - their lives. In those days a wave of peasant uprisings swept all over these parts of Europe, signalling the idea of the fall of feudal system to those who could read the signs. The church, being the largest feudalist, also opposed this as much as they could but the simple needs of the unsatisfied majority of hungry people prevailed in the end, as we know from the history.

The advanced weapons used at the time were primitive compared to the murder tools we have successfully crafted since.

This rifle had a complicated system of reloading. One would first pour the powder in through the barrel, then insert a round bullet and make sure that the bullet is pushed all the way to the powder.

The round balls under the bullet belong to small canons, not to the rifle. A design over the reality, perhaps? :)

Since guns and rifles were expensive to make and complicated to use, various cold weapons were still majorly used for killing a fellow human.

The armour was also expensive, meaning that only the rich noblemen were wearing it. This, of course, gave them a significant advantage in hand to hand combat. If they were also mounted, there was very little a peasant could do, except heavily outnumbering the noblemen. Unfortunately, it didn't do much good.

Enjoy your day!
