The trebuchet was used to hurl large stones at castles in the medieval era. The trebuchet was a new war machine that terrorized castles throughout the British isles. With it’s origin dating back to China in 300 B.C., the trebuchet was used primarily by the French until the twelfth century. During the Siege of Dover, the French attacked the British stronghold at Dover. Once King Edward the first of Britain laid his eyes on this weapon he knew he must construct one for Britain. He told his master engineers to construct a larger and even better trebuchet. The “Warwolf” was then constructed and is now the most famous medieval siege weapon in all of history. In physics class, we were required to construct a medieval siege weapon of our own. Similar
