History Of All Catapults...Ever. (Part 2)

      So, my mom's last name is Bothwell. You may be wondering what this has to do with catapults. Well, as a matter of fact, Bothwell is what it has to do with catapults. One of the most famous sieges in which catapults were used, was the 1301 Great Siege of Bothwell Castle in Scotland. Edward I of England besieged the castle more than a couple times with a force of nearly 7,000 and with the help of several catapults. The siege lasted for about 3 weeks and much of the castle was damaged. After, the castle switched possession a few more times before finally resting with England.
