Advanced medieval weapons

mardi 18 août 2015

Just a quick question. Other than firearms, what are some good examples of advanced weaponry for an early-to-middle medieval setting? In my WIP one of the protagonists is trying to track down who is supplying a barbarian tribe with advanced weapons that are decimating his lands. So I'm not sure what type of weapons would be unusual or too advanced for a barbarian tribe to have.

Thanks in advance!
