In this episode of The Information Entropy Podcast, we catapult ourselves into the world of medieval castles. Join us as we unpack the science and strategy behind castle defence, from murder holes and machicolations to position, structure, and power. We’re digging deep into how medieval castles were designed as layered defensive machines and the evolution of their design. Castles weren’t cosy stone palaces—they were engineered war machines.
