The Siege Belfry or travelling tower
Turn of attack of at least 9 meters in height (its size depends on the height of the enclosure besieged) comprising a drawbridge at its top. It can be a travelling fortress, sheltering a hundred archers on several stages. This machine, on wheels, can be brought to the foot of the walls by a system of reeving.
