What was the specific function of a “garderobe” in medieval European castles?
The Garderobe “Properly, not a latrine or privy but a small room or large cupboard, usually adjoining the chamber or solar and providing safe-keeping for valuable clothes and other possessions of price: cloth, jewels, spices, plate and money.” –Frank Bottomley from The Castle Explorer’s Guide http://www.awardrobeintime.com/garderobe/garderobe.html
