Cannon

You know, before that, feudalism worked because, you know, the local aristocracy, the duke, the earl, the king, he'd have a castle, and nobody could touch it because it was just impregnable.

Cannons hadn't been invented yet, and if he had 100 knights, they could ride out into the countryside and do whatever they wanted.

Some local was getting uppity, like do a Braveheart on them.

Just level their village.

no place is deemed worthy of it but a royal palace, and there, at the approach of the expected hour, high nobles and the great officers of state assemble, while the whole country, big with hope, waits to welcome a successor to its long line of kings.

Cannons announce the event.

Seaward, landward, Guns flash and roar from floating batteries and rocky battlements.

Bonfires blaze on hilltops.

On the morning of the 7th of October, the two sides finally came into view near the Gulf of Patras.

Cannons were loaded, soldiers prepared for battle, hundreds of oars drove the fleet towards one another.

What followed would become one of the most celebrated and brutal naval encounters in history.

This is the Battle of Lepanto.
