You would probably know more about this than me but I believe Richard the Third owned one of the first “hand guns” in England (I may not have the right term, lol!). He was a big fan of artillary but didn’t like the gun because of its kickback.

No. Records show the Chamberlin having receiving three handguns from Ralph Hutton in 1386, a century earlier.
