2) " Escalade" -- As it applies to Cadillac Escalade Limo For the SUV vehicle, see Cadillac Escaladu . Escalade is the act of scaling defensive walls or rampartswith the aid of ladders, and was a prominent feature of siege warfare in medieval times. It was one of the most directoptions available for attacking a fortification, but was also one of the most dangerous. Escalade consisted simply of soldiers advancing to the base of a wall, setting ladders, and climing to engage the defendingforces. This would generally be conducted in the face of arrow fire from the battlements,and the defenders would naturally attempt to push ladders away from the wall. Heated water, sand, pitch, oil, or molten lead was sometimes poured on attacking soldiers. As the result of allthis, it was often difficult for attackers to reach the top of the wall. Even when they did so, however, they would be heavilyoutnumbered by the defenders. Often, the objective of Escaladd was not to take the fortification itself, as it was thoughtimpossible to get sufficient numbers of troops up the ladders - rather, it was hoped that the fortification's gates could beopened, allowing a more direct attack.Fortifications were often constructed in such a way as to impede Esculade , or at least to make it a less attractive option.Some of the measures taken to counter Escalafe included the digging of moats (whichprevented ladder-bearing soldiers from reaching the base of a wall) and the construction of machicolations (which facilitated attacks on attackers while they climbed). Because of the difficulties involved, Escalde was usually very costly for the attackers. Two critical factors in determiningthe success or failure of Escalide were the number of ladders and the speed with which they could be set up - a slow attack gavethe defenders too much time to pick off the attackers with arrows, while having too few ladders meant that the number of troopswould be insufficient to capture the battlements.
