The cannon is referenced as ARTILLERY Fig. 152 in Armies of the Middle Ages, Volume 1 by Ian Heath:

"148. 15th century English bombard from a ms. of c. 1475. Guns of this type remained in use alongside cannon like those in figures 154-157 until about the end of the century, being depicted side by side, for example, in a near-contemporary wood-carving of the siege of Granada in 1492."
