I wonder how the latrine definition in my post above this one came to mean wardrobe...???
This is mere speculation, of course, but it does seem from the latrine description to be somewhat like what we call a closet in North America. Which serves the same purpose a wardrobe does in Europe. Hmm, maybe when castles got modernized facilities all the ladies, princesses, etc., looked at the garderobes, thought if they got their servants to sterilize them they could have a few more inches of closet space!
