I read that in medieval times, if you lost your castle to invaders during a siege, it was incredibly unlikely that you’d get the well-fortified tower area back.
Guys back then were playing for keeps.
Did you hear about the medieval siege where the attackers ran out of ammunition? So, they loaded a severed peasant’s head onto a trebuchet and fired it. By sheer luck, it hit the Duke’s son and knocked him off the battle field.
Yeah, apparently it was the first ever serf face to heir missile.
Just read an amazing account of a 13th-Century siege.

It was the first recorded instance of a serf-face-to-heir missile.
From Twitter.
My wife beamed at me with pride and said "Wow, I never thought our son would go that far!"
I said, "This trebuchet is amazing! Go get our daughter."
I took a poll the other day.
Turns out 100% of people get angry when their tents fall down.
More places are charging fees to iron my clothes after they launder them...
I guess the free press is under siege!
