Towns vs Castles
Life in a castle was more exquisite. You usually were quite rich and was a knight, baron, king or queen. You had servants, cooks and gardeners working for you. Castles were heavily decorated with expensive items from the owners on their travels like oriental rugs and tapestries. Castles also tended to be bigger and the people living in it had their own room. A castle also had a library, women’s room, games room and much more. Castles also had many parties, dinners and entertainment. But if you lived in a town you had little furniture, small rooms, heated only by a small fire, badly ventilated and your only source of light was the windows. Many people lived in a 1- 2 bedroom home, sometimes with lots of people living in one room. The towns use to sometimes be dirty, busy, smelly and unhygienic.
