Load the Trebuchet ! Corfe Castle.

I once watched a giant one of these at Warwick Castle in action and it was frightening to imagine the devastation one of these things can inflict. They told us how they used to fire not only massive stones at the ramparts but also rotting carcasses into the living areas of the Castle, with the hopes of contaminating their water supply. They even used to fire bees nests at charging knights in armour with the hope of them taking it of as the angry bees got under their defensive attire, leaving them defenceless against the archers.
