Dear Jane,

I hope this email finds you well. I've been reading about medieval architecture and I came across the term "crenel" which refers to the notched or indented shape of a battlement. I was wondering if you could explain the purpose of crenels in medieval fortifications.

Best, John

Hi John,

Thanks for reaching out! Crenels were indeed a common feature in medieval fortifications, particularly in castles and city walls. The purpose of crenels was to provide a defensive advantage by creating a weak point in the wall that could be used to attack or defend.

Imagine a row of crenels along a battlement - it would be difficult for an attacker to climb up the wall because the crenels would provide a series of small ledges that could be used to defend against climbing. Additionally, the crenels would also make it difficult for an attacker to place a ladder or other climbing device against the wall.

Crenels were often paired with merlons, which are the solid sections of the battlement between the crenels. The combination of crenels and merlons created a strong defensive system that made it difficult for attackers to breach the wall.

I hope that helps!

Best, Jane

Hi Jane,

Thanks for the explanation! I had a good understanding of the purpose of crenels, but it's always helpful to get a refresher. I was also wondering if you could recommend any good resources for learning more about medieval architecture and fortifications.

I'm planning to visit some medieval castles in Europe soon and I'd love to learn more about the history and design of these structures.

Best, John
