If you happen to know German, Geschichtsfenster is a excellent source: https://youtu.be/zPkKCBxFLfc?t=2323

If not, you can look at the pictures at the time stamp. It should be self-explanatory. I sadly don't have good English-speaking sources at hand right now. The problem is that most pop science articles are horribly wrong. Here is one about general castle myths that is OK-ish: https://www.immortalwordsmith.co.uk/myths-about-medieval-cas...

I mostly learned that stuff from taking courses in university. The difference how the academic mainstream sees the medieval period vs pop culture is super crass.

This is great, thanks! Sadly, I'm an uncultured American whose exposure to German is limited to vaguely European foods. But the YouTube auto-translate worked really well and the pictures were awesome. The castle was elegant... almost cozy! I'd live in one :D

Thank you.
