All about Castles
Castles were built for the kicking and to protect the king. The castle had a lot of major defense systems for protection. How the castle would work is the king owns everything, but he gives his land to nobles to protect the land, and the nobles give Knights the land to help them out, so the Knights hire peasants to work.
