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. |
Now you can own scale, working models of these infamous,
gravity powered medieval trebuchets. All of our assembled trebuchets
and trebuchet kits are individually handcrafted from fine, cabinet grade
oak and include illustrated instructions and projectiles. |
