They just threw the contents out of the window.Then, when the people flung their potty waste out of the window, they would shout Gardez lâeau .ometimes there was a chute which went down to the moat or a cesspit. The cesspits were emptied by people known as gongfermors.In castles these little toilet rooms were known as garderobes (to 'guard' the 'robes'). They were called that because people kept their clothes in them.
