about castles:
A lord’s castle
was certainly not luxurious; its rooms were often dark and drafty.
Comfort was not the purpose of castles; they were designed to resist
direct attack and to withstand a sedge. Privacy was not something
people had during the Middle Ages. Especially in time of sedge, the
people would have to sleep anywhere including the tables in the great
hall and in the kitchen.
