The women of a conquered castle save their men in the most ingenius and amazing way possible!

Today, Weinsberg is just another town in Germany. Founded hundreds of years ago, it's today notable for it's wine.

Back in 1000, however, the Weibertreu Castle located there was first built.

In 1140, the castle was attacked by Konrad III during a series of struggles between the Staufers and the Welfs.

On December 21, the Welfs in Weibertreu Castle had to surrender. Though the men had been defeated, the women were allowed to leave with their lives- and whatever they could take on their backs.

Quickly thinking, the women carried the men out, and Konrad III had to keep his word. The women who did this were called "trueue Weiber," or "loyal women." The castle still stands today, and you can see a picture of it on the right.
