The first use of cannons on the battlefield in western Europe was when a few guns were deployed by Edward III’s men at the battle of Crécy in 1346.
Bernard Cornwall, The Archers Tale (Thomas of Hookton) portrays the cannon use at Crecy brilliantly. Excellent Historical Fiction. Will read Dan Jones The Essex Dogs next.
