GCSE History
Medieval warfare was not primarily about cavalry charges and individual heroism - it was about siege, supply, and controlling the conditions under which the enemy could operate. Edward I's famous Warwolf trebuchet at Stirling in 1304 took three months to build. His Welsh campaign of 1277 was won not by battle but by cutting off Anglesey's food supply. This page explains how medieval armies fought, besieged, and built.
