[Bonetools] crossbows and flees

[Keily, Jackie]

Hi,

 

I have just had a crossbow nut from London, which is fairly similar to
the Urquhart castle example. The London example is from a context dated
to the early 15th century. The following may also be of use and can be
found on Google Books: http://books.google.com
<http://books.google.com/> :

 

Payne Gallwey, R, 1903 (reprinted 2007) The Crossbow: its military and
sporting history, construction and use, Skyhorse Publishing, New York 

 

All the best,

Jackie
