Notes on the Design and Construction of Urban's Giant Bombard |
| |
Abstract: | AbstractThe advent of the large gun known as the bombard meant that the medieval city could no longer ride out a siege behind the security of its formerly impregnable walls. Fifteenth-century Europe saw the development of two broad families of particularly large ordnance: the wrought iron bombard of western Europe and the cast bronze bombard of eastern Europe. |
