Knights and castles gradually disappeared due to several interconnected factors. The rise of centralized monarchies diminished the need for feudal lords and their private armies, as kings created professional standing armies. Advances in military technology, such as cannons, rendered castles less defensible. Additionally, the growth of trade and urban centers shifted power dynamics, leading to a decline in the traditional feudal system that supported knights and castles.
