Stone castles could be attacked in many ways. Some of the most effective were using Siege Towers or a Belfry(like an enclosed ladder). These would be pushed up against the castle walls. Mining could also be used. The attackers would dig a tunnel up into the castle to a location near the walls. They would make a explosion, and this would cause the walls to crumble and collapse. Siege's were a particularly effective way of attacking a castle. The attackers would surround the castle with men, so no one could get out or in. Sieges could last for months, until the people inside starved.
