here's how it is described by the game:
Mangonel Crew
The basic idea of a mangonel, or small catapult, goes back to Classical times. The throwing arm, driven by twisted ropes or sinews, hurls small missiles quite a long way. The frame isn't wheeled and once in place a mangonel doesn’t move. Mangonels are outclassed by gunpowder weaponry.
I heard that a english Royal has nothing to do besides launch cars off the biggest trebuchet in the world.
