The Middle Ages
“Medieval Times”
Medieval Towns
Medieval Towns often grew up around a church or town fair with no planning. The streets were narrow and rarely cleaned. The sewer was often the nearest river.
Medieval Markets
Medieval Markets were held a few times a year and were like carnivals. Minus the elephant ears.
Medieval towns had a curfew (a time
when everyone had to be in their homes) no town had a police force to deal with those who broke the law. No town had street lights - the only choice was candles but in a wooden city or town, these ‘street lights’ could prove disastrous
Crime
Under Medieval law, animals could be tried
and sentenced for crimes, just as though they were people. There are records of farm animals being tried for injuring or killing people. Animals were charged with smaller crimes, too. Some mice were taken to court for stealing part of the harvest, and, in another case, a flock of locusts was convicted --in absentia--of eating crops.

Looks Romantic Doesn't It? Toilets were built into the walls and emptied directly into the moats. One more reason why you might not want to just dive in when storming a castle.
Defense
The entrance to a castle often had two iron gates. In between the gates were murder holes were built into the ceiling. In case of an attack molten lead or oil would be poured through the holes onto the enemy.
The Great Room
The Great Room was heated and lit by an enormous fireplace, big enough to stand in. The Great Room was where all of the eating, drinking, debating, politicking, and merry making and other business was conducted
