The Republic of Genoa is famed for its Crossbowmen, a corps of battle hardened men that were the defenders of the city and a prime mercenary unit. The Crossbowmen themselves made history by being present and participating in the Siege of Jerusalem during the first crusade.

The remainder of the unit engaged in either reloading or passing of loaded crossbows.
