- Froissart's Cronicles show some scenes of handbow and crossbow
archers at war. Some of the crossbowmen are shown using windlass
spanners. Also worth checking out is Gaston Phoebus's Book of the
Hunt from the 15th century -- the stag hunt miniatures show archers,
including spanning a crossbow with a belt hook.
