SaltyIceteaMaker, I don’t think arrows were able to penetrate plate armor. At least from bows idk bout crossbows
Track_Shovel, 
They were. Look up bodkin arrows. Also, a lot of the knights got mired, and then killed by the archers with daggers who didn’t sink as much.
dessimbelackis, Better yet look up Tods Workshop on YouTube arrows vs armour and then think of thousands upon thousands of archers piling shaft after shaft into the French knights
ericbomb, Long bows were much more powerful than most cross bows.
Crossbows were easier to use though. First crossbows were seen in 500 bc and never really vanished.
Long bows in a trained archers hand was just better.
HenriVolney, Fuck these no-honor cowardly weak, fake knights that hided behind common archers and waited for the French cavalry to be down to engage in the battle!
