What were baileys built from in Medieval Times?
A bailey is strictly an area enclosed by a protective wall and a moat or ditch - from the Anglo-Norman French word bail, baile or baillie, a protected piece of land.So baileys themselves were not built from anything - it was their defensive walls that were built. These were originally built from the earth excavated from a surrounding ditch, with the earth built up into a high bank. This was then topped with a palisade of wooden posts.Later, as castles were rebuilt in stone during the 12th century, walls of stone were added, with towers at intervals, and the ditch was widened and deepened to create a moat.
What is a good sentence using the word moat?
Moat refers to a ditch filled with water, often used to help protect a fort or castle. Therefore, a suitable sentence would be "In medieval times, one defence often employed to deter attack upon a castle was the excavation of a deep moat."
What did toilets look like in Medieval castles?
The chamber pot, a portable basin, was used in Medieval times. It is exactly what you think it is and was used exactly the way you think it would be. I think they looked like a big box with a hole in it that goes out to that weird water that surrounds the castle. Yes, they were often built so they hung out over the moat, if there was one, or just over the side. Ships had exactly the same system, so no-one had to spend time cleaning up. filfthy Apparently the toilet was a hole at the top of the tower it had a long shoot that went down into the moat. That was not the main purpose of the moat though. The purpose of the moat was to make it harder for opponents to attack. WIth all that poop and pee in the moat opponents wouldn't dare try to cross. Toilets were usually sited within a castle's outer wall with a drop down to either a river or moat below. Another option was above a long shaft that went down into the ground. Link below shows a picture of some medieval castle toilets.
