Some flooring was made of packed dirt with lime and/or other chemecals added, some of tile and others of stone, most were covered with or sprinkled with fresh herbs or straw.
Not all castles were filthy and hygiene varied as much as in houses of today.
Candles were the most prevalent of all lighting methods, later oil lamps came into vogue.
