That's the oubliette.

Basically an ultra small cell where they just leave someone to die.

>>2754324
This is from Stephen Biesty's cross sections. The castle was a series of individual cross-sections along the length of a long castle each dealing with a particular part of castle life or functions. IIRC, the section before this was about warfare.

>>2754353
Those are (were) people trying to sneak up the latrines to infiltrate the castle in the aforementioned seige, who got stuck and died.


Stephen also put a spy dressed in black robes in every scene of the castle. For fun see if you can find where he is in this one.

>>2754288
What are they gunna use all those planks for?

>>2755322
Those wooden structures on the side of the battlements during sieges

>>2754554
the term actually means oblivion, quite fitting

>>2755102
For what purpose!?

>>2754322
I'm pretty sure this was in a book about medieval warfare from my 4-6th grade library.

Comfy

This is the castle in my town, not quite as comfy but a bastard to crack.

The tower leaning on the left of the keep was from from an explosion during the civil war and then subsidence. I'm not sure of the exact degree but it leans more than the tower in pisa

This is bullshit sensationalism, right? It reminds me of those exaggerated diagrams of the Maginot line defenses made in the 30s for propaganda purposes, but back then the idea was to downplay the threat of the enemy.

>>2757308
Yes... Doubly so, considering Bin Laden was apparently not even there. (Well, assuming you buy even that end of the story.)

>>2757320
Was the same chart that Rumsfeld was showing to folks on Meet the Press.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGhGHxw0mSo

So, at least it was government approved sensationalism, and not some random Alex Jones sperg. (Wait, that makes it worse, doesn't it?)

>>2756091
No it means to forget in French.

>>2754288

Why are all those blokes climbing up the poop shaft on the left side of the castle??

>>2757493
Oublier is the verb. Oubliette is very obviously a female noun. I might be wrong about the exact meaning as I posted from memory but oubliette is a noun forged from the root of the verb oublier.

>>2754288
Man i loved these as a kid
