Shoutout to this particular skeleton, who researchers believe is the first confirmed case of being totally obliterated…
Researchers have identified Skeleton 150, unearthed at Stirling Castle in Scotland, as potentially the first confirmed victim of a trebuchet. The skeleton, dating to the 1300s, exhibits over 160 fractures consistent with being struck by a large, high-velocity projectile, likely from the English siege engine known as 'The War Wolf' during the siege of 1304.
