Quote:
A battlement is a wall or fence that would protect someone from falling off a roof.

In those days the roof was akin to our patio and that's often where they entertained. Having a guest fall off your roof would make you a poor host.


They also slept on the roofs during the hot summers months.

This is also another example of a law not being kept because of the design of homes now days. But if you build a home in which you could be on the roofs, and there are appartment buildings with such, then yes you must keep this Law. If someone fell off your roof I can asure you there would be a large lawsuit. But would you go to hell?
