Do you mean an actual, long term siege, which could last weeks, months, even years until one side finally starved/succumbed to disease OR got relieved/fought off relief? Or do you mean a full bore assault on a fortress/city? Or both? |

Stirling Castle 1304 ('I've brought that giant catapult all this way and no-one surrenders until I've fired it…') Siege of Antioch 1097-1098 (Just when you need a Holy Lance…) Siege of Rochester 1215 (Quick! Send 40 pigs..) Siege of Calais 1347-49 (And for the next 200 years, it was called 'Callis') |

I haven't been to a medieval siege for ages….. Another vote for Antioch, one commander, organization, oh and I wanna be King afterwards. |

I agree on Stirling Castle, "Warwolf" was what he named his new trebuchet, and he wouldn't accept a surrender until it hurled at least one stone upon the walls. |
