How was Life in a Castle?

     In most castles it was a life of luxury. You have everything, water and food at your finger tips, a feeling of security, and even protection. Some castles had vaults that could store five years of food. Others were so big they could shelter a thousand people. But thats onlyinthe West.

     In the East the castles were different. The castles here were mostly set up for war, seiges, and defence. These castles had large rooms for armor, weapons, and military meetings. Another important feature to the eastern castles are the passage ways; because they're completely covered to block arrows and other projectiles, but they are wide and tall enough for a horse and rider to gallop through.Even though ready for a siege, these castles were not comfortable luxurious living quarters.
