Original Note:
The myth that medieval castles predominantly had clockwise spiral staircases for right-handed defense is debunked. Many, including the Tower of London, had anti-clockwise designs. Rarely did combat ensue on these stairs; their breach meant impending defeat. https://www.tastesofhistory.co.uk/post/dispelling-some-myths-spiral-staircases https://historytheinterestingbits.com/2019/10/09/guest-post-busting-mediaeval-building-myths-part-one/
