Carcassone
Carcassone in Southern France is a whole town fortified against the Catholics in 1220 AD.
Kings, Knights and Castles
Castles were for Kings and Knights and Lords and servants. They were also meant for armour and other things.
First castles were made from stone or brick, with a moat.
There were tiny windows, long and skinny to firearrows out of, and so attackers couldn't fire arrows into.
There wer booby traps so people couldn't get in
