Where Royalty Lived
• The constant threat of war during the Middle Ages caused members of the nobility to build grand stone castles to protect themselves, their families, and their serfs against a possible attack
• Every castle was filled with servants who did most of the day to day work for the castle and knights who defended it against attack.

Where Royalty Lived
• Within the castle was a building called the Keep, where the nobleman and his family lived.
• This consisted of a great hall that served as an office, dining room, and dance hall.

Falconry
• Each castle had a falconer whose job was to capture, train, and care for hawks as if they were human beings.
• A good hawk was prized almost as much as a good warhorse and members of the nobility were known to make pilgrimages to plead for the health of a sick hawk.

Knights in Combat
• Knights protected the lord's lands from invaders and fought in the lord's battles against other lords.
• Knights in the early middle ages were just horsemen, but it became a sign of nobility and social status as it grew more expensive to get equipped for fighting on horseback.
