Shorthorn The Shorthorn Breed of Cattle was originated on the northeastern coast of England . Shorthorn cattle, breed of beef cattle developed from the native cattle of the Tees valley in NE England; formerly called Durham cattle.

In the end France and England both ended up suffering in their own distinct ways. For England and France they had to deal with the Black Death which ended up hurting them both due to the loss of population and peasant revolts due the taxes or unfair laws that were passed leading them to deal with this consequence. From looking at England and France in their own “set” of consequences there is a quite a distinctive difference on how one side was effected than the other. England in this case suffered tremendously because of their Economic Crisis and their losing of land they had in France. France had benefitted from some consequences and such as centralizing due to a broken social system and reclaiming their land that England had control over.
In Crusader Castles, Hugh Kennedy takes a strong approach that Crusader Castles are the pinnacle 12th and 13th century engineering. He explains that European castles which are often garrison by a local lord or vassal did not have to be built to the highest stand, unlike their counterparts to the east who would have to be built to perfection of the highest standard. They needed to be able to withstand brutal assaults from siege weaponry and armies ranking in the tens of thousands much more frequently than anywhere in Europe. Kennedy’s book is useful because it divides the crusaders castles into discrete areas and fits them into context of history and the part that they play in them. Something interesting that I have not commonly seen in other sources is his chapter on siege warfare and how it developed throughout the crusade.
The guide by the name Michael told me that the warfare evolved from equestrian archers to great armies of infantry with swords,
As mention by Parker, Frederick the Great army, “employed in formations allowed close control and constant supervision, emphasizing heavy infantry and cavalry tactics that marshaled men in straight lines in the open field. ”7 Frederick often complained about the development of artillerists in other countries and introduced horse-drawn field artillery for a shift of position during battles. ”8 Even though, the Prussian army was behind other states with the new vogue for artillery. Out of frustration of the advancement of other states, Frederick developed his own concept of artillery with the of horses alongside artillery elements.
They introduced the long bow as a main weapon in this war. The Islamic people would shoot burning arrows are just regular arrows into the castle. What they didn’t understand was that the longbow wasn’t a part of weaponry in this war. It wasn’t even invented yet.” The longbow was invented by the Celts in Wales around 1180 C.E., but was not really used by the English military until the 1300s”.
Excalibur was Arthur's sword but the knights used different weapons such as guns,bow and arrows, and crossbows. The Knights used these weapons to fights rebellions slay dragons and defeat other kingdoms. The king invited
Longswords The Longsword is a type of European sword used during the late medieval period, approximately 1350 to 1550 (with early and late use reaching into the 13th and 17th centuries, respectively). Longswords have long cruciform hilts with grips over 10 to 15in length providing room for two hands. Straight double-edged blades are often over 1 m to 1.2 m (40" to 48") length, and weigh typically between 1.2 and 2.4 kg (2½ to 5 lb), with light specimens just below 1 kg (2.2 lb), and heavy specimens just above 2 kg (4½ lb).
And due to it being so small due to its composite construction it made for a strong and accurate bow that could be used on the back of a horse easily. Targeted enemies could be easily hit at around 175 meters, by knowing this it allowed the Mongol army to figure out the best tactical distance for the mounted archers to engage with the enemy. Horse mounted archers main tactics would be “skirmishing; meaning they would approach, shoot, and then retreat before any effective response could be made.” (Strategikon, 1984). This was an extremely useful tactic as it enabled the horse archers to attack and withdraw before hardly any injuries or deaths could occur from an enemy due to them taking them by surprise.
The army consisted mostly of cavalrymen, who are very good and deadly at using the bow and arrow. In Yinchuan, the Mongols made a false withdrawal from the battle and this is one of their signature tactics, and then they surrounded the capital and controlled it. Though they attempted to flood the city but it failed and the Xi Xia ruler accepted tribute to Khan. The Mongols next attacked the Jin Dynasty of Northern China, their ruler demanded Genghis to surrender. From 1211 to 1214, the Mongols invaded and they sent refugees into the cities of Jin Dynasty and food shortage became a problem in the country and the Jin army started killing tens of thousands of its own peasants because of food.
The introduction of the compound bow has led to a general increase in the love of archery and in the interest of hunting and targeting. They are usually built differently to have various features so what makes one unique might not be very appealing in another.
A handful of further literary characters such as Sherlock Holmes in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories, were also clearly important predecessors to twentieth-century detective and espionage fiction. “According to Holmes, the “ideal detective” needs not only “the power of observation and that of deduction” but also “knowledge”. Though Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) is more known as a author of detective fiction, some of his stories are in matter of fact early examples with the spy elements, e.g. The Naval Treaty, The Second Stain. In His Last Bow is the main protagonist Sherlock Holmes himself even as a double agent giving false data to the German army during the World War I. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American writer, poet,
