Castles | Can’t Sleep? Learn About Medieval Fortresses

Castles | Can’t Sleep? Learn About Medieval Fortresses

Castles were built to project power, control territory, and make attacking the people inside considerably more inconvenient. This episode explores how castles developed, how their walls, towers, gates, and defenses worked, and why they became such an important part of medieval life. Along the way, you’ll learn about different types of castles, the people who lived and worked inside them, the realities of castle sieges, and how these enormous fortified structures changed as warfare and technology evolved. It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping! — Thanks to Fitnexa for supporting the show.
