Do you have a cite for this? Not because I don't believe you, I just think this is super interesting and would like to learn more, especially if there are illustrations etc of what it would've been like?
Not a history buff, wouldn't know where to start looking...
- cardanome 3y agoIf you happen to know German, Geschichtsfenster is a excellent source: https://youtu.be/zPkKCBxFLfc?t=2323 https://youtu.be/zPkKCBxFLfc?t=2323 If not, you can look at the pictures at the time stamp. It should be self-explanatory. I sadly don't have good English-speaking sources at hand right now. The problem is that most pop science articles are horribly wrong. Here is one about general castle myths that is OK-ish: https://www.immortalwordsmith.co.uk/myths-about-medieval-castles/ https://www.immortalwordsmith.co.uk/myths-about-medieval-cas... I mostly learned that stuff from taking courses in university. The difference how the academic mainstream sees the medieval period vs pop culture is super crass.
- solardev 3y agoThis is great, thanks! Sadly, I'm an uncultured American whose exposure to German is limited to vaguely European foods. But the YouTube auto-translate worked really well and the pictures were awesome. The castle was elegant... almost cozy! I'd live in one :D Thank you.
