There are many ways: Spies could infiltrate it, opening the gates for your army to enter. You could blast or catapult rocks into the walls until they fall down, allowing your army to get inside. The cheapest way is to get regiments of infantry with ladders to climb up one of the walls and capture a tower, giving them a foothold. Besieging the said castle works also. If no food or other supplies pass into the settlement they will eventually starve and surrender. It would also be possible to undermine the walls. This means digging under the wall and setting fire to the supporting timbers, causing the walls to topple.

∙ 13y agoAssuming you didn't have gunpowder - which ended the use of castles for military defensive use - probably the most successful technique was to lay siege. Surround the castle and prevent traffic to and from the castle. Unless the castle was large enough to be able to provide supplies for all the residents, at some point the people in the castle would have to surrender or starve.

When did Britain take over Dublin Castle?
England's King John built a castle on the site which was completed in 1230. In 1565 the new Lord Deputy Henry Sidney moved his household into Dublin Castle. By 1570 it was the centre of British rule in Dublin. In 1801, Ireland began to be governed from London instead of Dublin, though Dublin Castle still held an important position in British rule in Dublin. This lasted until 1922, when Dublin Castle was handed over to the Irish.
