Why is the claim that the outlawing of crossbows contested? The only source is a "self-published thesis" which is hardly authoritative. I personally don't even know what a self-published thesis is (and I have a Phd). Isn't it just independent non peer-reviewed opinion? Note that I would have read the scholarship in said 'self-published thesis" except that it is not available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.114.33.62 (talk) 17:00, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
