This is clickbait. It's a lot like comparing cranberries to nuclear warheads with no historical or contextual value. Even if they did rate longbows at #1. |

Picky, picky, picky. It's a generalization page, not a scholarly treatise. My list, first to last – first being the most impressive medieval (European) troops: English Longbow during the last half of the HYW. Swiss phalanx. Templars, Hospitallers and Teutonic Knights. Housecarls. The Normans. French (Frank) heavy cavalry in a charge. Italian city state militia. Low Countries city state militia. Scotts schiltrons attacking. Galloglaich. Genoese crossbow. |

Yes, definitely add them to my list. Put them between Normans and Housecarls. |
