Quotes by Mike Loades (?)

“Chivalry was a code of behaviour among nobles of equal status – it did not extend to other ranks, nor did it restrict the use of the most capable weapons for the combat at hand.”
― Mike Loades

“Although ballistae are frequently likened to ‘giant crossbows’, it is incorrect to do so. They do not have bows but rather two separated and independent arms that are powered by twisted skeins of sinew; they operate with torsion power; a bow employs tension power.”
― Mike Loades, The Crossbow

“While hunting in the New Forest, William II Rufus (r. 1087–1100) was killed by a crossbow bolt; an assassin’s blow conferring an association of perfidy to the weapon. His son Henry I (r. 1100–35) narrowly escaped a bolt shot by his illegitimate daughter Juliana in her failed attempt at both patricide and regicide.”
― Mike Loades, The Crossbow
