How did the castles function?

   Castles supported knights. The caste1 provided a base for the nights to plan on how to strike an enemy. Castles were also a refuge for civilians who needed a place to live. That is nice. Castles were also very sophisticated. 

   Castles were not purely military some of them doubled as manor houses. I would like to live in one. When the lords were away they entrusted their castle to the lords officials. The castle was also a important logistical center. The people who worked there must of had good plans.

    I think it would be awesome to live in a huge castle today. I also think the castles are great for the Military Base.
