👉 The Yorkshire weapon, also known as the "Yorkshire longbow," was a type of English longbow that emerged during the late 14th and early 15th centuries. It was characterized by its long, slender shaft and relatively short but powerful limbs, which allowed for greater draw weight and improved accuracy compared to earlier longbows. Typically made from yew wood, the Yorkshire weapon was renowned for its exceptional strength and precision, making it a formidable weapon in medieval warfare. Its design enabled archers to shoot arrows with greater force and range, contributing significantly to the effectiveness of English longbowmen in battles such as the Battle of Agincourt.
