Note 277 — XXXIX MILITARY ENGINES
Laurence Marcellus Larson translation
This translation of hengivigskarð is based on Blom’s interpretation (Aarböger for nordisk Oldkyndighed, 1867, 105-106, note). The brattices were projecting galleries built along the top of the wall and were in use before it became customary to build stone parapets. Cf. Oman, Art of War, 534.
