In this video, we take a closer look at how Hollywood portrays medieval warfare and compare it to what history tells us. From trebuchets to crossbows, swords, and even the sounds of medieval battles, we explore the inaccuracies in sound effects and battle scenes in films. While movies often exaggerate the drama and spectacle of warfare, we dive deep into what the real sounds and experiences of medieval warfare might have been like.
