The arbalest was a late variation of the crossbow coming into use in Europe during the 12th century. A large weapon, the arbalest had a steel prod. Since an arbalest was much larger than earlier crossbows, and because of the greater tensile strength of steel, it had a greater force.
To my mind the long-bow is a better weapon than the arbalest, but it may be ill for me to prove it. Holding the arbalest with one hand, Daoud vaulted into the saddle. The form of the arbalest of this time may be seen in our woodcut, No. 50. On this bird, I deemed, he meant to try his skill with the arbalest. The arbalest is said by some writers to be of Italian origin.
