Spiral staircases in medieval castles are running clockwise. This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties of climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have had no troubles, except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumed that they were descendants of the devil.

I've climbed a lot of those narrow steep 1 ft stairs incl. The Tower of London, Doone Castle,(MontyPython)Edinburgh Castle... and even Ft Point under the Golden Gate. The advantage to the defender was the downward stroke to an upcoming helmet or left pauldron from a higher step above enroute to the lordships' lofty boudoir in one of the towers. Going to bed in your castle, or mounting Civil War guard duty while reenacting in miserable Ft Point at 2AM on the 4th level top parapet in January is a frigid aerobic workout!
