Sieges
An enemy messenger has told us that they are planning to attack our castle. We will need to restock on food and drink. The attackers may also try to dig there way under the tower, but we already have anti tunnels prepared to fight.

He would learn how to use the lance and start wearing armor. The squire also served as an assistant to the knight. At the age of his training at 21, he became a knight.
The Weakest Part
The weakest part of the castle was its entrance. To make up for that weakness, strong and sturdy gatehouses were very important. Placing the gatehouse near the moat gave it more protection. The moat too was vitally important. The enemy could not swim across it for fear of drawing and it would make them more vulnerable against the castle guards. In order to secure the castle, you have to make sure that the entrance is properly protected.
