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!

Pretty sure we are all grateful for any new post and looking always looking forward to future post. I can’t imagine the work that goes into one of these videos, and thank you for that.

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

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

This was a very interesting cross-section video about castles, well done Simple History. I never knew Wales had THIS many castles before but that sounds very interesting and i also liked your Disney and Star Wars references.

Such a fire video bro!

I love you so much simple history ❤

Great video!

Interesting and very fascinating. I did not know that Wales had so many. Life in those castles, even for the lords and nobility, was not nearly as comfortable as our lives today. They had little knowledge of hygiene, germs, contagions, infections, healthy diets, et al. And so many of them were illiterate. Medieval life in a castle seems so romantic to us, but few of us would trade our modern lives to go back and live in those times.

I love your content

Nice video

The castles that you have showed you can also see in Balkan peninsula as well, believe it or not. The rumor says that there is one Medieval Caste in Serbia. The location of that castle is near Novi Sad, Serbia. Besides the castles that were built near sea, and lakes, some of them were built on rivers as well. What I'm about to say is that some fortresses were also built as well. They were built near river Danube. The fortress that were built on river Danube are Kalemegdan in Belgrade, and Petrovaradin in Novi Sad. Petrovaradin fortresses has white clock. The big pointer shows hours, while smaller one shows minutes. They called that clock a drunken clock. And these pointer helped sailors when sailing across river Danube to see what time is it. Although one thing I might add is, that Petrovaradin fortress was built in 1692, by one French architect. Believe it or not, King Richard The Lion Heart was healing his wounds or illness in sanatorium in Balkan peninsula during the crusades. That sanatorium is near city of Novi Sad, and there is a commemorative plate there.

Castles are great and all but we're missing an answer to a crucial question; What. About. DRAGONS?!

Please correct the description of the front gate. They were L shaped so that no direct access was available. Thank you it was a great presentation.

I saw Windsor castle in the UK when I was 18 back in 2004. It was an amazing place to see. Also the old Roman town of Bath in the UK was super amazing. So many of its roads are still in use today. Here in the US it's so boring there is nothing really anything exciting historically wise here. Some battlefields, propaganda monuments and some old houses are all that we have that are historical.

Visited some castles in Italy

0:35 Caernarfon Castle!

One of the many reasons medieval europa is my favourite time period

I like how the one Archer that's closest to being an FPS view, is able to take out two archers on the walls. While the archers up front can't hit anything 😅

You should also do a cross section/life inside a Japanese castle during the Feudal or Edo period

Ummm... Neuschwanstein Castel (Sleeping Beauty Castle) was built in the late 1800's. Not a medieval castle.

They should make a TV show set in a Medieval Castle.

@ashleytaylor7621

15 күн бұрын

it depends on whether its a castle or a motte and bailey, if it was a motte and bailey no, if it was a castle no..... they would just give up there may be a couple cases in a castle siege that the defenders held out for so long that reinforcements arrive maybe but generally if the attackers have got to the keep you are fucked because all of your food all of your arrows everything you need to survive a siege is outside soooo if the attackers are smart all they have to do is wait a week and you will be so dehydrated and hungry you will just have no fight to carry on so no obviusly in history theres always cases that show the 1 in a million but if you have the entire fort you can then start re building everything that was destroyed and wait out the last defenders what would be the point in wasting men in trying to take a handful of dead men and lords or ladies?? i would also like to point out that hand to hand combat inside a keep was hardly ever done because its so hard to defend a keep you need to defend the stairs problem with that unlike a rampart the attackers have a clear shot at your feet and you cant defend your feet so if youre an attacker its literally like shooting fish in a barrel.
