Life Inside a Medieval Castle (Cross Section)

Medieval Castles needed to be multiple things at once. They needed to be reflections of the leaders they represented - large and stately, suitable for housing the most important people in the world and surrounding them with luxury. But they also needed battlegrounds and strong fortifications that strengthened the defences of a town or city - therefore deterring invasion. The focal point of the towns and cities they defended, the Medieval Castle needed to not only house and support the land it owned, but stand as a signature and representation of the wealth of the crown and its nobles. Sending the message to invaders: 'You will not win here.'

I remember when Simple History used to put up a video like every two weeks, and now there’s one every few days. Keep up the good work!

Rest of the world: Wales, what is your weird obsession?

[@pabcu2507]

Now, do a video on mr krabs during his days in the navy

[@ViktorCZ42]

I suggest the next Cross section to be about Bastion forts

[@rewardunkind4541]

Please do a cross section of a 18th century naval tall ship

This gives me nostalgia for a castle cross-section book I had as a kid.

Now THIS is something that I have been waiting and asking for for a long time. I am a HUGE fan of anything and everything "medieval" and I am so grateful that SH finally decided to make a new history video on this topic. I have rewatched the old ones so many times that I can literally recite them by heart lol. As always, I love to hear Chris in these videos, they just wouldn't be the same (nor as pleasing to the ear) without you. Also, kudos to the creation team.., ty you guys for all your hard work! Together, y'all have developed the absolute best animated history channel on KZbin.

The cross-section concept is amazing!!! I’d love to see more of this.

[@irishsaturday7577]

This is a seriously gorgeous video! You guys have seriously come such a long way since the King Henry video all those years ago! The sets, the animation smoothness, the character models, all spectacular!

[@DrewDracoSune]

I'm so happy that I happen to come across Simple History, every video upload always brings a smile to me because of it's straightforward approach to the topic and simple animation, nothing overly complicated but effective.

[@rob7566]

The reason there are so many castles in Wales wasnt to keep the english out, it was to keep the welsh in.

[@EddieJr8611]

Love it, my favorite time period and the narrator has a great voice. Love the information and the animation is simple yet intricate too, keep it up please I subscribed!

[@augustusnafrada2811]

In my opinion simple history should make video on how a medieval army was made and how it works

[@danielcervantes8754]

Imagine a Grand Theft Auto medieval game, Grand Theft Carriage. 🥲

[@brentstephens4081]

Love the video style @simplehistory !
