Snowman within Castle Walls

A snowman wearing a tall pointed hat stands alongside a large knightly shield on the stone paving of a castle courtyard. Fortified stone towers and a heavy entry gate enclose the courtyard space of the historic castle architecture.

Architecture of Medieval Castle Courtyards

Medieval castle courtyards were paved with durable granite or limestone slabs to allow horses and heavy carts to travel without sinking into mud. Massive stone watchtowers positioned around courtyard perimeters provided defenders with clear sightlines across the surrounding terrain during snowstorms.

What materials were medieval shields made from?
