There are many hypotheses about the origin and dating of this primitive bombardment. a large-caliber medieval cannon, which in Thuin - like the belfry - symbolizes municipal freedoms.
according to the most plausible theory, it is a French, very old (rough cast iron and primitive ignition mechanism) piece of artillery that would date from 1466-1467, when Louis XI and Charles the Bold, with the help of Philips van St-Pol, built the Good Cities. of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège to punish them for their revolt against their Prince-Bishop. The besieged left behind the nailed Spantôle cannon. The name spantôle is the Walloon double form of the word "épouvontable" (terrible) and a justifiable name considering how horrified people must have been when they saw the first cannon aimed at Thuin.
