I'm awfully glad to have found this place! Zahir's the name, and I'm prepping an epic fantasy to be titled "Seasons of the SeaGriff." Part of the story involves the siege of a castle, and so off web-searching I went. Here is where I ended up!

While far from an ignoramus on this subject, I'm also a long way from being an expert. Plus my own tendency is to ground things in some measure of reality whenever possible.

So I'm very much looking forward to reading what everyone has had to say--as well as asking my own questions in a little while.

Use our search facility to look for old posts on the subject of sieges(there shoiuld be quite a few). It's linked at the top right of the page.

Also, you may want to look at these pages for info on siege engines; http://members.iinet.net.au/~rmine/gctrebs.html http://www.middelaldercentret.dk/
