In the Siege of Acre in 1191, Richard the Lionheart constructed two trebuchets that he named "God's Own Catapult" and "Bad Neighbor."
Things flung during a medieval siege included: rocks, fire bomb, carcasses of animals and people (to spread disease and demoralize the enemy), and burning sand. Now, hobbyists build trebuchet mainly to chuck pumpkins.
