This video presents architecture of medieval castles from a defense point of view. Of course everything is illustrated with hand-drawn and hand-painted illustrations made by a fantasy illustrator (in short: me). You'll get to know differences between early-medieval and gothic castles, best locations for a fortress, different types of moats, elements of defensive walls, how castle gates worked, what is "Zwinger" and where to find a landlord during the siege.
