During the Middle ages powerful lords made their homes to hold up during attack. These buildings became larger and by the 1100s, nobles owned large stone castles with high walls, towers, wide moats, and drawbridges. Wars during the Middle Ages often revolved around capturing castles that had control over strategic areas. This is why castle dwellers often stored up enough food for long sieges.
