Knights would attack the castle. They would send a message to the king and say to surrend or something bad would happen. If they say never, then the knights would attack. This is how the knights would organize an attack. Thank you very much.

∙ 16y agoCastles sieges depend on being able to deny the castle the means to feed itself. It can be attacked either by breaching a wall or climbing over it. The doorway is usually the strongest point of the defences. It may be possible to undermine a wall, causing it to collapse. Gunpowder was the reason why castles, in time, became undefendable, if artillery can make a breach then the wall is no longer secure from attack. It depends on which time in history the castle was attacked, as well as its site. Obviously some castles were easier to defend than others.
