Title: Hungarian mounted crossbowmen
Post by: Druzhina on 14 August 2014, 12:11:43 PM
In the frescoes in the Póniky (Pónik) Roman Catholic Church, Slovakia (upper Hungary), c.1478 (http://warfare.meximas.com/15/St-Ladislaus-Poniky.htm) are two horsemen in the Saint Ladislaus legend that appear to have crossbows. Are they mounted crossbowmen? Are there other representations of Hungarian mounted crossbowmen?

Nice.

But not a clue as to your question, D.
