in the oubliette when you look forward you see a gutter, it is for air or connection with the drain to a privy

Where they put you when you buy a young adult ticket but they find out you're 25

It's horrifying when the torture equipment gets explained on the tour especially 'The Rack'.

[robnewman]

There was so much suffering in those centuries ago!
So Tragic Period!

I went to Warwick castle once a few years back it was a nice castle and almost killed a peacock that was behind the archery range and had someone shout don't kill the king's bird

[sgringo]

I would have assumed that oubliette meant "NOPE!"

Great videos! I think it would bring better visuals if you record horizontaly oriented.

4 Amazing Things & 1 Bummer…1) Alice is an incredibly appealing storyteller on multiple levels 2) Her crew does a fantastic job of taking us on the journey with her 3) All the subject matters are always fascinating 4) The use of Carmina Burana is top notch!…the one bummer…the shorts are too short 😝…a maximized Alice is always preferable & most assuredly always welcomed. ♥️😊 ♥️

I went to Warwick Castle for my school trip last week 😄

[OldGuelphPianoStudent]

There are lots of violent criminals today who would benefit from a jail like this instead of cushioned air conditioned comfort

[mrme]

Quite a horrible hole to be placed in.
Can you imagine the PTSD.
Awful.

Thank you Alice.

I had my very first paranormal experience at Warwick Castle over 40 years ago

[keithchilvers]

I seriously doubt the story that the dungeon was to house prisoners taken at Poitiers. It is recorded that a large number of prisoners were taken at that battle, but prisoners were only taken if they were good for ransom or useful as hostages. No prisoner of lesser rank than a knight would be taken, and the rules of medieval warfare were clear on this - prisoners for ransom or hostages had to be kept in the style to which they were accustomed, and in return they had to give their word (parole) that they would not attempt to escape, they lived as members of their captor's household until they were ransomed or exchanged, they certainly would not have been kept in a dungeon.
If you captured a noble prisoner during the Hundred Years War you had won the lottery, but if you could not afford to keep him, or you did not want to wait for his friends and family to raise the ransom you sold him to someone further up the social scale, often for a grant of land. King Edward III bought quite a number of the prisoners, including of course King John II of France - the jackpot!.

We need some of your medieval architects in this corner of the globe.
Fascinating building, with this kind of attrocities is how you handle the worst and at the sne create an strong better future.
