>>6158338It was his once, before losing it during a game of dice to a burgundian, the burgundian was found dead during the next battle so the bow was clearly not useful to him...

You were in a mood to see some fun, and you wanted some time to think about where to find two more men for Rose's guard. So you ordered your brave Ancel.
-Allright Ancel, give her your bow and some arrows, let us see what she is worth.
Ancel began to plead.
-Que nenni messire ! Que nenni ! This bow, touched by a woman ! It is witchcraft and...
Your old Godefroi smacked him behind the ear.
-Silence Ancel, obey, we all know that you prefer for your sword to be touched by a woman but that is not a reason to disobey your master.
The troop laughed and he gave the weapon to the Guelph lady who tried it. You wondered what it would do. She nodded and smiled the kind of confident smile that you generally see among young knights and squire totally sure of themselves. She still complained.
-There is no way to touch something very far away with this shortbow.
-Try to touch this pile of hay...
She cut you off by losing two arrows right on this, it was moderately hard to hit but the two arrows were very close. She then told.
-This is an exercise for a human..
She turned her head a bit around when she saw a servant leaving and moving with an apple in his hand, he was perhaps thirty paces from her, she screamed "Heeey" and he stopped turning around, she then lost an arrow and pierced the apple. After the servants cry you were more than surprised, you had to think about closing your mouth then, how ? By saint Denis how ?!? Fortunately you managed to control yourself and ask a pertinent question.
-Is it witchcraft ?
Yes, you saw some bohemians at a fair playing with knives and doing this, but it was not at thirty paces, and it was obviously staged. The lady answered.
-Witchcraft ? No... Who needs magic aiming ? It is simply 80 years of training....
Your knights discussed amongst themselves and finally Cop, your brave man at arms, whispered to you.
-Elves have a good eyesight, the wife of Gardasil, that you expelled from the guard could do even better with a bow...
