I started playing D&D in 1978. I was 6 at the time. So when I started going through B2 The Keep on the Borderlands, there were words I didn't know and either guessed at their meaning (tun of wine - that's an awful lot wine, i thought, thinking they really meant "ton"). So began my education of medievalness, and here are some of the words I learned in my early years.
Crenellation - A rampart built around the top of a castle with regular gaps for firing arrows or guns
Merlon - A solid portion between two crenels in a battlement or crenelated wall.
Tun - A large cask for liquids, especially wine.
