Notes on Historical Accuracy

Since Armourer’s Tower is a proper noun, I’ve kept the British spelling of “armour.” The same spelling is also used for the armor-cleaning workshop. The American spelling looked out-of-place next to the tower’s larger, British English label.
Armourer’s Tower is sometimes called Chapel Tower now.
An atilliator is someone who makes crossbows.
A pentice (or penthouse) is, in the medieval sense, an extension built against the wall of a larger structure having a single-pitched roof.
The winding seagate path leads down the western cliff-face to Tremadog bay (200 feet below). During a siege, supplies from Ireland could arrive to re-supply the castle’s stores.
I placed the garden in the north side of the ward because this side will get more sunlight.
In the north-western corner of the Great Hall there was a oven which I have omitted.
The cistern next to the tower is an embellishment. This was actually a small guard house and the “cistern-overflow” was an arrow loop. I wanted to put a cistern in the castle somewhere.
The blacksmith’s workshop is also an embellishment.
