Amazing video. There was one thing not added in this. My favorite of castle defenses. That is murder ramp. A all long tunnel like a slide that would start really high up and end at a hole near the outer castle base. they would slide bowling ball like rocks down it at very high speeds. It would come flying out the lower hole wripping through the attackers legs.

I actually envy American kids for having such interesting homework projects. When I was a kid all we got was the dull data to memorize.

Yes mr william that complete nob head lol

If only harold had survived the last cavalry attack before sunset, then reinforcements would have arrived and The English would have won the battle of hastings and stopped his conquest in its tracks.

We were out numbered and out gunned (so to speak lol) but we held them back all the way.. and we would have had serous advantages if harold survived that last attack and our reinforcement troops arrived at sunrize for the next fight.

They were built by order of William I, not by the order of the English!
