medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
This is not a very religious question, but perhaps you can tell me anyway.
Can anyone provide me with one medieval source for pouring boiling oil
[or water] from a castle on attackers?
I have just read, for about the 400th time, the statement that defenders
of X, Y or Z could pour boiling etc. down on attackers & I realized I
don't know a single source for that.
