One foot in front of the other, every day.
I hath come to thee with certain queries.
What dost thou thinketh of certain churches and noblemen pushing for a papal ban on all crossbows for being unchristian?
Parchment related, tis my Venetian crafted crossbow, chambered for both bodkin and broadhead arrows.

Why are crossbows unchristian, if I may ask?
Tis misliked by knights, as their harness is as nought before its strength. Should a common man smiteth a knight anointed by our Church with such ease, it is taken as an affront to thine authority.
Aye, crossbows art a highly practical and useful contrivance, indeed. Makes a man wonder why doth no one thinketh of tis weapon's potential against the infidel storm from Anadolia. What good Christians need is a Crusade! Let them beam thine force against a mutual enemy!
Orthodox folk taketh part in Crusades?
When thy circumcised ones are ravaging our borders, we need any aid we can receive! Some of our lords art considering to accept thy Papal faith. Tis preferable to being ruled by Turks.
Thou art damned right. Turks art most vexing at war. Moslems may drinketh of thine own chamber pots whilst treading upon Christian soil.

On another note, the pronunciation as "Moslems" bugs me.
Tiers of Ranged Weaponry, as Determined by Men of good Reason and sound Judgment:
HIGHEST OF TIERS
Long bows of mighty Yew, wielded by a Welsh Christian in the Service of the King
HIGH TIER
Short bows, as favoured by the Mongol Heathen and the Indian Christian in the Service of Prester John
MIDDLE TIER
Slings, as used by the Scythian
LOW TIER
A thrown Javelin like that of the common Saracen Fiend
PEASANT TIER
Crossbows, as favoured by the French Mongrel
If thou dost disagree with this most reasonable List, thou art a Knave and a Peasant.
It's all good guys. I poisoned the pope's dinner.
^^ Such folk vex me, as mine technique requireth alteration when set against such villains.
^ > doth thou impliest that thine Pope doth not enjoy God's own holy shield?
Considering the other popes that died, no.
Verily, I say. Suffer not a heathen to live.
I'll just be hanging in Palestine with my Algebra, yo.
Knaaave.
Knaaaaaave!
I'm sorry I can't hear you over the sound of science advancing and tasty spices.
Thoust's implications that Christendom's alchemical skill met rivalry is most amusing.
Methinks the heathen knows not of valor and courage. Thou must challenge us to a duel, or begone from this land forevermore.
Verily.

>proclaiming vexation from a peasant's weapon
I sincerely pray thou doest this not.
Need I remind thee that an axe ist also a peasant's weapon, and proves mighty against even a knight's maille?
Alright then, how do you feel about white rabbits that guard caves?
No more than an ill jest, I'm sure.
Malk's truly a most beloved sibling, indeed.
