The podcast "Now I understand": myths about dullness, feasts and the seizure of medieval castles

In fact, when castles were inhabited, the feudal lords who lived in them strove for aesthetics. The walls of the fortresses were plastered, whitewashed or painted, and sometimes in rather bright colors. The rooms were decorated with tapestries and paintings, and sometimes with fabric wallpaper.
