How did the defence of a castle change during the middle ages?
- First there were wooden castles that were easy to burn. So they nailed wet leather skins on the wooden castle walls.
- When the castles became made of stone the 'attackers' started to besiege the castle so the 'defenders' dug a moat around the wall so there wasn't direct contact with the walls. also they made holes above the entrance and then when the 'attacker' came in the 'defender' could throw boiling water, rocks and stone or sand down. also for the archers there came little cracks in the wall so the archers could fire arrows.
- Sometimes the 'attacker' surrounded the castle to let the 'defender' run out of food, most of the time the 'defender' surrenders but many castles had secret passageways.
