Last time the trebuchet was used in major battle was at Malaga. They fired body parts over the wall. Out with a bang ... ish. #BattleCastle

Sorties were the ultimate way to use a castle like an aircraft carrier. #BattleCastle
The Alcazaba is full of chambers as well. But some are believed to have held something much more sinister ... #BattleCastle
The three ingredients of gunpowder were sulphur, charcoal saltpeter (potassium nitrate). #BattleCastle
The cannon spread quickly after the fall of Constantinople. #BattleCastle
The Alcazaba was a palatial stronghold meant to safeguard Malaga's elite - sometimes from their own people, it's believed. #BattleCastle

Greetings #BattleCastle universe. Join me in an epic medieval quest - Masters of Constantinople ow.ly/9OOvS #gomedieval
The attacking forces actually positioned themselves on all four fronts. Von Plauen and his men were surrounded. Or were they? #BattleCastle
King Jagiello's right-hand man, the Duke of Lithuania, was a relation - Jagiello was born Lithuanian #castlefact

Stoking that medieval kiln had to be great in the winter and a scorcher in the summer! #battlecastle
It was very cold in the Baltic. The Teutonic Knights had to be innovative. And innovative they were. #BattleCastle #couldstandtheheat
On the south side, the largest moat is a huge pond, converted after it was dug out for clay to forge for the castle #BattleCastle
New and old - the army had trebuchets and cannons #BattleCastle

Yes ... there's another castle. Edward's Iron Ring. Four castles in one show! #BattleCastle
That's where the springald would have been - right above the machicolations! Google it. It's pretty cool. #BattleCastle
Yes - it was very heavy. And unwieldily. Would have been tough to manoeuvre under enemy fire! #BattleCastle
That longbow's rate of shot is on average 15 arrows per minute. Expert Kevin Hicks can shoot over 20 in a minute. #BattleCastle #gomedieval
#castlefact: Baybars, besieger of #CracdesChevaliers, tried to kill Edward before he was king. Epic!
