How Have Castles Evolve Over Time?

How the castle evolved over time. In the Middle Ages, castles around the world looked the same, they used similar ideas. This castle has a long history, some of the early castles dates back to around 6500 BC. Of course, the castle constructed around 500 - 1500 looks very different, and since the early castle era ideas emerged, there was more technological progress. This castle has been refurbished all over Europe and can be found from the UK to Latvia. Irish, Scotland, France, the Netherlands also have castles on the border.

Do not forget that the castle is mainly used as a military housing - they have evolved into a noble residence. Therefore, they are designed for defense. The medieval castle builder took in the design of the early castle and improved it over time. The design of the castle was also changed to catch up with the progress of encirclement technology. Essential items (sanitation, freshwater, cooking area etc) are also essential to the castle. This is especially important when you surround the castle. Hori - a large groove or groove around the outer wall of the castle - is the first defense line of the castle. The moat can be filled with water or dried (dried moats can be lined with dowels). It is usually crossing a suspension bridge that is drawn when the castle is attacked. Many moats are also garbage dumps of garbage and sewage.

In the 12th and 13th centuries, the castle evolved into a powerful fortress that resists strong attacks. At the same time, a siege battle was developed to combat the strengthening of the defense of the castle. In the second half of the Middle Ages, without a siege of at least one castle, there were few major battles. Indeed, the fight like Crecy (1346) has already gained all the glory, but until the siege of Calais in the second year, it is the first time that the UK has made major progress in the fight against France. Successful castle siege battles are skillfully combining complex science and specific behavior criteria that participants know but do not always practice. Ultimately, as long as the castle dominates the social and political order at the time, the siege dominated the medieval war.

The building of the castle started in the 10th century. The first castle replaced the wooden fortress. As the way of warfare changes, the castle will continue to grow and become more powerful. In the next few paragraphs I will discuss how warriors surround and attack the castle, how people in the castle are prepared for warfare, how they can protect them. Castles are usually built on cliffs, so opponents are hard to reach. There are grooves filled with moats, water around it. This groove surrounds the side of the castle and there is no protection from the cliff. Moat will also provide food to people living in the castle.
