life in the Middle Ages

"The Normans, at first, built castles of wood. In the early 12th century stone replaced them. Living in a stone castle was more comfortable as it was warmer and drier than a wooden dwelling. In the towns wealthy merchants began living in stone houses. The first ordinary people to live in stone houses were Jews. They had to live in stone houses for safety." (Haha. Sadic.)

Aşa a murit obişnuinţa de a arunca primul cu piatra.
