Forbidden Knowledge Video Analysis

When building many of the castles in the 1300-1400’s the main purpose was to keep the enemies out and of course for conquest. In the video I watched, the Forbidden Knowledge video, they called out some very key point of why and how these fortresses and castles where erected and defended. Not only where there kings of the lands, but then each of those lands were divided up to noble kin and lords. They were always trying to better there futures with more land, even if that included killing your own cousin to get his piece of land. One great example of an intuitive fortress, Caesar had made a donut shaped fortress at one point around a small town; he shut out and was starving the people in the town and then also keeping out the men that were
trying to help the people within the walls. The castle built in Caerphilly, Whales was an act of war, the Lord that built this castle, built it on his neighbors land, and then told him to come fight him for it. These times were very futile, it seems that no one ever got along for any legth of time, and they were always feuding with someone.
