RE: Slow Down, Tourist – The Castle of the Squirrels
According to legend, the castle Veveří ("squirrel" in Czech) was founded by Přemyslid Duke Conrad of Brno in the middle of the 11th century, as a hunting lodge. Nevertheless, the first credible recorded mention about the castle is from the years 1213 and 1222, when King Přemysl Otakar I used the fortified castle as a prison for rebellious peers.
🤔
Something intrigues me
was founded ... as a hunting lodge
And then
used the fortified castle as a prison for rebellious peers.
I'm not going nuts. But maybe, just maybe, the legends were true. One in a while, one from among the 'rebellious peers' was let loose into the woods with promise of freedom and then hunted for sport.
Alternatively, the squirrels were the hunted ones. I prefer the first story.
It's just my mind adding 2 and 2 and getting 22222.
great pictures by the way
Do you mind I use one? (I'll reference you as the source)
I want to write a story based on what I think

It was the Wikipedia, so you can correct it yourself. But you are comparing two distinct centuries:
11th century ---> 1000-1099 (or, 1001-1100?)
13th century ---> 1200-1299 (or, 1201-1300?)

I know. That's the stuff of fiction. I can collapse events occurring at different times into one event. 😜
I'll take your silence as a yes
Yes, you can use it. Thanks for the reference.
