Ribault (Eng.)

1. Small cannon.
2. There is evidence that these small cannons were fired by the English at the siege of Calais (1346), during the Hundred Years' War. See: Baumgartner, Frederic J., Handarms and firearms (Salem Press Encyclopedia, January, 2015).

[NB: This English term was added to the glossary merely to help understand the range of piroballistic weapons already available during the later Middle-Ages.]
