Title: trebuchets: what more could you want?
Review: I was so glad to find this was released on DVD! My husband and I had watched it on PBS years ago and really enjoyed it, so I purchased this as a gift for my husband this Christmas.It is just one episode of a series called "Medieval Siege" and runs a little under 1 hour. This episode shows two teams making two different types of trebuchets based on drawings and writings from the age of castle warfare. They're made (mostly) by using original techniques and are compared by seeing how they fare against the wall of a castle constructed specially for this show.My only complaint is that I would have liked to see more detail about how the trebuchets were built. It seemed like everything was pared down to fit it into an hour-long show, and it could have been easily a 90-minute show. Also, the DVD is a little pricey for the short length. But hey, trebuchets!
