How would you attack Warwick castle in medieval times?

First you would perhaps besiege the castle which is to surround it. You could then send sappers in which are people that did under the castle walls and then set fire to the wall with pig fat. on a stone keep castle, sappers would often dig under the corner of the castle as here, their were no windows so nobody could see what they were doing! Next, you could use a siege tower to climb over the castle walls, and then you could use long bowers to shoot arrows over the castle walls. Then, you would use a trebauchet (pronounced: TREBUCHAY) and a mangonel which are both forms of catapults! You would load the catapult with animal carcases, dead bodies and rocks! you could also use a battering ram to ram down a wall or door. A battering ram was a tree trunk with a metal ram head on the front. It would be hauled into walls or doors! Hope this helped!!
