Life on a medieval estate centered on the castle—the residence of the lord’s family and refuge for the estate’s population in time of war. After Christian crusaders had studied Byzantine and Turkish castles, noble residences became imposing. Stone fortresses were carefully designed to defend against military siege. For example, King Henry II of England buttressed his castle at Dover in England with stone walls 85 feet high and up to 21 feet thick. Still, no castle was impregnable. Attackers often tunneled underneath the castle walls, battered them with siege weapons, or simply waited for the defenders’ water or food supplies to give out.
We can infer from the passage above that A) attackers who besieged a castle were never successful at storming castles. B) King Henry II of England was paranoid. C) Christian crusaders were impressed with Byzantine and Turkish castles.
