This Bohemian crossbow is inspired from the artwork of Liber ad honorem Augusti by Pietro da Eboli, c.1197 – Folio 131r. Specifically the author labelled “Bohemia” near a crossbowman, belonging to the army of the Emperor Henry VI, to conquer the kingdom of Sicily.
A mixture of Genoese, Bohemian, Lombardic and other Germanic infantry were used under this king of the Holy Roman Empire.
