Duchy of Gascony (Age of Charlemagne) Barracks Level 3

Royal Barracks

'Barracks' did not always refer to buildings that housed military personnel. Originally, they were called 'baraca' (from Catalan) and housed both people and animals alike. During the time of the Roman Empire, the elite Praetorian Guard were housed in barracks, as befitted their status as the Emperor's bodyguards. Indeed, early barracks were reserved entirely for elite regiments. Further examples were then constructed for more standard troops, such as the fortresses at Vercovicium and Vindolanda in Roman England. Building barracks inside fortresses made logistical sense, as troops would live and train in the place they were expected to defend. Over the centuries, the central idea of barracks changed little - in addition to living quarters, they also developed a large central courtyard for training and parading upon. As professional standing armies were smaller during the Middle Ages, barracks were less common than during later centuries, when enormous professional forces required larger building solutions.
