This is perhaps one of the most uncomfortable features of the castle, as
if the castle weren’t uncomfortable enough; there were no toilets, but
rather little constructions called “garderobes,” a hole through which
users would aim their waste products, which would ultimate go through
shoots which wound up in the surrounding moats. Adding to the
wretchedness, these “bathrooms” were often cold and breezy, hardly
conducive to progress. Another gross detail: the “garderobe” was called
such as residents would keep their clothing inside, as the odor would
repel insects (and any human with a sense of smell, most likely).
