their prime goal it seems was to be burnt alive with hot oil dropped from the spaces in the castle's walls
The castle was built to counter attackers
it would be a lot easier for the attackers to get into the castle
The rampart kept the attackers from coming farther to the castle.
Attackers would surround a castle with both men and catapults so that no one could enter or leave the castle.
they used a drawbridge and archers fired arrows at the attackers.
They will be used to climb up the long walls of the stone castle by attackers
One of the robot attackers was captured and put in the castle dungeon.
Boiling oil can be effectively utilized in a castle defense strategy by pouring it from high walls or towers onto attackers trying to breach the castle walls. The hot oil can cause severe burns and deter the attackers from advancing, making it a powerful defensive weapon.
if the attackers could not enter the castle they laid siege in hopes to starve the out.
they were quick and easy to build so they were good if you were attacking somewhere else and you needed to have a castle to stay in also they were tall and had many defensive systems such as a ditch to trap attackers a mote to drown attackers and a huge hill impossible to run up.
Because, Tutbury castle, is built on a hill, so it makes it hard for the attacker, that is coming for instance war, a trouble, as the wall are immensely high, its impossible to climb, also they can see there attackers from up in Tutbury for miles because of the height, and there is a river near by called the River Dove, this is a river attackers have to cross to get any were near the castle, so the more difficulty it is to reach the castle for war :).
When attackers attacked the castle, if a portcullis existed , it could come from above and kill them. I hope it helped :) ^^
