Default Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows

The Black Death was around the beginning of the 100 Years' War, 1350, it wasn't a major influence on the final result around 1450. Ultimately, England lost simply because it was a far less wealthy and populous nation than France - it couldn't replace the casualties or pay for the endless conflict.
