TOP 8 Medieval Weapons the Church Tried to BAN for Being TOO BRUTAL
https://youtu.be/0Bfvl0MxwjE
Medieval warfare wasn’t noble—it was filled with weapons so TERRIFYING that kings, nobles, and even the Church tried to ban them. Peasants turned farming tools into deadly War Scythes capable of bringing down armored knights. Greek Fire set entire seas ablaze, while hidden caltrops shattered cavalry charges before they began. The Misericorde exposed the dark truth behind chivalry, delivering execution through tiny gaps in armor. Then came the Crossbow—a weapon so revolutionary that the Pope declared it HATEFUL TO GOD. The shocking truth: medieval warfare wasn’t about honor… it was about finding faster, crueler ways to kill.
