Correction: It's not impossible or even unlikely that Malagant would design his own style of cell. And "oubliette" was a word long before the dungeons named this were concieved.

Correction: Many castles contain deep, windowless spaces, but no medieval documents say these were prisons. They were only identified as prisons by later historians and archaeologists. Many archaeologists and historians now think these were storerooms and not prisons at all. So the idea of Guinevere incarcerated in an oubliette is doubly incorrect! Isn't this all too pedantic? If King Arthur existed, he lived in the seventh century, long before castles were built. The legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table are usually set in a vague, romantic past, somewhat outside documented history. Most films about King Arthur show knights wearing fifteenth century style armour, living in huge, elaborate castles that could probably not be built, even in 2020! These films are romantic fantasies and should never be regarded as history. If you want something realistic look out for the 1972 British TV series "Arthur Of The Britons" which showed Arthur as a seventh century warlord.
