The Trebuchet
|
What is a Trebuchet ? How does a Trebuchet work ?
Centuries before the practical use of gunpowder, ancient armies employed
handmade artillery against castles and fortifications using enormous throwing
machines powered by humans , twisted cord , bent wood and metal, or gravity
.
Ingenious and varied in their design , these great siege machines, or
siege engines, hurled large stone balls and flaming tar to breach castle
walls and set fire to interior buildings.
The trebuchet , or Trebuket , as it is sometimes known,
is a direct
descendant of the simple sling , or what is commonly known as a slingshot. |
Introduced into siege warfare during the twelfth century, the trebuchet
, powered by gravity alone, was the most effective siege weapon of its
time.
