The Castle's Tower


Huge towers were constructed, from which lookouts, could see approaching enemies well in advance. If you take notice of the windows (small vertical hole) which were fairly off the ground and extremely narrow; an archer could fire accurately from within the tower, but attackers would find it difficult to counter back the offence. Higher windows and those in the inner buildings were larger to let in more light.
Drumming In the Medieval Century

The instrument designed to make all movements harmonious was the drum,
which was the voice of the Captain or Commander. The leader is the spur of the
valiant and also the heart of the coward. It was then, by the drum that orders were
given to the foot (soldiers), the clash of arms and other confused noise causes that
neither the leader nor other officers can be heard.
