Su questo video

Dig into the history of medieval European castles, and explore how the design of these formidable fortresses evolved over time. -- Medieval European castles weren’t just for passive defense and withstanding enemy onslaughts; they were symbols of power, private residences, and hubs of governance. Castles regularly served as bases for launching attacks and as a way to control local populations. So, how were these formidable fortresses built? Connor C. Wilson explores how the design of these structures evolved over time. Lesson by Connor C. Wilson, directed by Layron DeJarnette.
