      I used this DVD to suppliment my homeschool curriculum. It was very interesting and exciting for my 7 year old and myself. I can hardly wait for us to build our own trebuchet!

      The kids loved this! The building of the trebuchets was fascinating and the 250lb sandstone balls smashing through the "castle wall" was exciting for them as well.

      I also used this documentary to supplement the study of Medieval history in our homeschool. My three sons (ages 12, 10, and 8) LOVED this it! Nothing like medieval seige engines to grab the interest of little boys. My husband and I also found it very entertaining and informative. We're going to keep our eye out for NOVA documentaries from now on!
