English Longbow: We are not really sure where the English longbow came from. The English longbow was for war. The English longbow was about 6 feet long. The arrows shot about 3,000 yards. The English longbow could shoot 6 arrows per minute.
Spurs: Spurs were worn by knights. Spurs were a piece of iron that went on the backs of the knights' boots. The spurs helped the knight take more control of the horse.
Blast Furnace: The blast furnace was invented by the monks. The blast furnace converts iron ore to pig iron effectively. The invention of the blast furnace helped lead the Industrial Revolution.
Knights: A Knight was a soldier of Christ. Knights wore chainmail. Chainmail is a thousand rings linked together to form a metal cloth. Nation-states and Liberty both grew up out of the legacy of plate armor.
