      That wasn’t really a thing in medieval times. I’m afraid an axe will have to do.

          First used in ancient China around IV century BC.
          We can get tripantium though, advanced evolution of it invented in XIII century France.

            Especially when you could hold a vote, letting the people decide the method. One option: yeet the person from the trebuchet. The second: yeet something at them from a trebuchet!

            Bring outchyo dead vote!!

      This might fit in mediaeval times, with the earliest possible recorded use in the 13th century, but it’s certainly not well-known until the early modern period and most famous right on the border between early and late modern.
