Cannon in the Middle Ages

Cannon in the Middle Ages were large tubular firearms designed to fire a heavy projectile over a long distance. They were used in Europe and China, and were the archetypical form of artillery. The first cannon in Europe probably appeared in Moorish and Christian Spain. English cannon were first used during the Hundred Years War, when primitive cannon were used at the Battle of Crécy in 1346.
