The time and care presented in this series will encourage me to, in the words of Peter, "When ever I see a ruined castle, I wont be looking at the building itself. I'll be looking at the hundred craftspeople who were involved with that project. The thousands of hours of labor that went in to make it." This was truly remarkable. I feel saddened that there isn't more yet heartened that I can watch it again. I think I will always gain new insights watching this.

Amazing words, friend, very succinct. Your take fully captures the awe/rapture of being DUMBSTRUCK (as I am) of just how many prominent minds and skilled laborers this architecture style took, back in the day. Amaaaaazing what these men did using simple string and wooden tools/blacksmithing to create such permanent buildings, buildings that would last centuries. And highlighting the overlooked job of peasant/craftswomen to hold everything in place!! Can't get enough of this. This is by far turning out to be my favorite of all the "Living History Collection" (Tudor Farm, etc) and I'm like 4 episodes away from finishing.

For the cooking portion of this, Ruth's book (which I happen to be rereading, what a world!) How to Live Like a Tudor has an EXCELLENT section about this. The entire dish or course system we use now came from a pattern that was thought to be most helpful for digestion, to not drown the body's inner fire, but to not let it get overly hot either. It's a really interesting system, and they had to try to understand how the body worked from just... clues here and there really. Hence the humour system and the concern for the body's furnace. Really interesting read.

In my dreams there are monsters, aliens, apex predators that don't obey that whole "and God said let man have dominion" thing, vile vilians, barbarians, other dimensional invaders and continental super powers at war with continental super powers every moment of all thee time. So where do the people in my dreams try to live? In modern stile cities. You know the ones with nothing defending them from hostile creatures simply walking up to a house, large windows with thin glass that can be kicked open, drywall walls that can be punched apart, and doors with locks on them that can be headbutted open in one blow put on more as a joke then for security. My dreams need some serious help. Its a major lack of immersion. There can't be both a super dangerous world AND a world with no settlement fortifications coexisting as best friends. That would lead to humanity facing self inflicted extinction. (Self inflicted like say, by the same logic that if you ride a bike you should wear a helmet in case you get injured, but instead deciding you don't want to mess up your hair.) I mean, sure I would prefer there simply not be so much as 1 human in my dreams, but that isn't up to me, so I can hope at least it gets done right. My dreams need inspiration. Inspiration for what a city engineered to fight back would look like. Unless they like having to just evacuate the city and hide in bushes every time there is so much as a minor threat because those puny little modern fences won't keep a 4 ton creature out.

A castle with multi-layered walls like that tended to be a large, royal one. It took a lot of funding to build that and the supermajority didn't have those features simply due to lack of money. This is a big lordly castle, having a completely encircled courtyard, an artificial moat, 4 towers and separated great hall and great tower. Most castles were much smaller than this one here, often being merely towerhouses where the entire castle consisted of just the keep with no outer wall, or being fortified manors which would be just this castles great hall with everything else cut off. Caen, Caernarvon, Marienburg and Krak des Chevaliers are extremely bad examples of the average medieval castles as they were pretty much the most ludicrously massive behemoths that the most powerful economies of the entire medieval Europe could feasibly put together and consequently exceptional to say the least.

just like to see how they regularly move the cranes. they become obsolete in their positions fairly quick in my estimation. that would be a task.

Searched "medieval way to remove chainmail ". Only one image would be prominent, the one looking like a painting from that era. But it was worth the laugh. Ruth's laughter is justified.

Judging by how dirty that Gambeson is, yet the Chainmail has slight rust, someone didnt do their job in oiling/fating it up rightly.
@CZProtton4 жыл бұрын
The gambeson is dirty from all the oil from that chainmail. Its normal, gambesons get this dirty after just a few days of use. That chainmail was only slightly rusty, which is not good but also not horrible. Its actualy pretty hard to keep it rust free completely for a modern person with a lot more stuff to do. I managed to figure it out, though, you just need to pump it full of oil after every use and put it inside a sack so its all bundled together with the oil.

For the Trebuchet part Id not think "Heat of battle" really applied. Sieges were a quite dull and boring affair and machines like Trebuchets were set up so far back you werent at risk of being hit by any projectiles launched by the defenders
