Renaissance Weapons

In the times of the renaissance there were weapons (obviously). It is our duty to inform you about these weapons. Thank you.




The Trebuchet

The Trebuchet was a tall wooden structure used to launch heavy boulders and stones at castles. Before these machines were invented it was very hard to lay siege on a castle.




Swords

Swords were not very effectivein attacking castles but were used to fight hand to hand.




Cannons

Cannons were weapons built to shoot balls of stone and lead at high speeds for long distances. These were effective in battle against footmen and against castles.




We hope you like the information!
