Trebuchet
and Siege Engine Models by
TrebuchetStore.com
 Introduced
into siege warfare during the twelfth century, the trebuchet
, powered by gravity
alone, was the most effective siege weapon of its time. A quantum leap
over the torsion catapult, the trebuchet
, or Trebucket as it was also
known, revolutionized medieval siege warfare. Because of their relatively
long range, trebuchets kept their crews out of the accurate reach of archers
and other fortress defenses. Virtually unaffected by temperature and humidity,
the trebuchet provided precise and consistent projectile delivery, enabling
attackers to pound breaches in castles and fortifications, night and day,
with impunity. The mere appearance of a trebuchet at a siege instilled
fear in castle defenders. |
