Middle Ages Defense (Wk 25)

During the Middle Ages, there was a great need to keep people safe from the Vikings and other attacking barbarians. You created castles in class that show different ways to defend a castle and are evaluating your peers' castles for the ability to withstand a siege.

What defense system do you think was the most effective?

This must be an actual defense system that existed at that time...not something you made up or happened later in history :)
