Excerpt from Explosives
The early uses of gunpowder were confined to warfare, and no use seems to have been made of it for blasting purposes for several hundred years. It was originally used in the form of crude hand grenades, and probably was at first of most use in striking terror into the enemy. Cannon were first used by the English in I 346 at the battle of Crecy. But seem to have been used a few years prior to this in the hispano-moorish wars.
