The Medieval 'Escalade' Siege Ladder#1--single siege ladder and three men-at-arms figures (2 with bared swords)

This six-wheeled Siege Ladder could be easily rolled up to any stone-walled defences and then extended upwards to allow teams of Men-At-Arms to climb up and get to grips with the defenders.
At the same time, archers and crossbowmen from the attacking force would keep up a steady stream of arrows and bolts on the defenders positions forcing them to take cover behind their upper wall defences.

Each of K&C's 'Escalade' Siege Ladders comes with a team of three original climbing Men-At-Arms carrying an assortment of deadly weapons and shields.

In addition, each of these two sets comes packed in a full-colour, sturdy, presentation box.

‘STORMING THE CASTLE WALLS’

Medieval Siege Warfare played a crucial part in military strategy during the Middle Ages from the 11^th Century onwards after castles became more widespread in both Europe and the Holy Land. 

In actual fact, sieges were far more numerous than pitched battles, and ranged from small-scale affairs against palisaded earthworks to full-scale assaults on vast stone strongholds.

To assault and capture any castle, large or small, demanded a great number of foot soldiers, as well as a fair number of specialized siege machines and contraptions that could break down enemy walls as well as assist the attacking force to scale the castle’s defences or assault through any breaches.
