Best Answer

In time of peace practically nobody protected a Medievalcastle. There might be a porter (doorkeeper), a caretaker and a few peasant freeman providing their obligatory 40 days of military service (and hating every boring minute), with just a single knight temporarily in charge.

In time of war troops would be rushed to hold all the castles being threatened and each would have a castellan or constable in charge, with many knights and hundreds of archers, crossbowmen and spearmen.
