King William defended his stone castle primarily through its robust architectural features, including thick walls, narrow windows, and high towers that provided strategic vantage points. The castle was often surrounded by a moat, which hindered enemy access and facilitated defense. Additionally, William utilized a garrison of soldiers stationed within the castle to repel invaders and maintain control over the surrounding territory. These elements combined to create a formidable stronghold against attacks.
