the wars and changed the outcomes of battles in the middle ages. The trebuchet
shaped the holy land as Sultan Saladin used against the crusaders in eleven
eighty seven and eleven eighty eight. When the magnacarta was signed in twelve
fifteen AD. This provoked the French prince Louis to attack the crown of England
as he took over castles in Canterbury and Rochester using the powerfull
trebuchet. But in july of twelve sixteen prince Louis set siege to The Dover
castle, Being the mightiest of Englands castles prince Louis wasted no time in
ordering the construction of the trebuchet. Which he then used to pummel the
castle relentlessly finally opening a breach in the castles walls which many

never took Dover castle the trebuchet dealt a great deal of damage to the castle
doing its job very well, but prince Louis men could not do their job and the
English held the French off keeping the badly weakened castle.
