A skeleton unearthed in 1997 at Stirling Castle, Scotland, has been reclassified as the first confirmed victim of a trebuchet—suffering over 160 fractures, including shattered ribs, a crushed shoulder, and more than 60 skull breaks. The injury pattern points to a high-velocity impact from a massive projectile, ruling out typical battle wounds or falls. Experts believe this was the result of King Edward I’s “War Wolf” trebuchet during the 1304 siege, making Skeleton 150 a chilling, 700-year-old witness to medieval warfare’s brutal power.
