How did they defend castles?


Castle defenders were usually outnumbered. However, castles were designed to give the defenders every possible advantage that allowed them to last as long as possible in the event of an attack.

Castles frequently had enormous amounts of food in the granaries. This was proportional to the castle's population. In the event of an invasion, the gates were locked and frequently an attempt to invade took place. The main defense a castle possessed was its numerous walls. These walls could be very thick and tall - depending on those who built the castle.
