A siege tower was used to attack or capture an opposition’s castle. The siege tower was a large and tall tower on wheels, it would roll up to the castle in an attempt to overpower the defenders on the walls. Six large wheels, with three on either side would usually hold the tower up, and obviously move it forward. Inside the siege tower would have multiple levels that would hold troops of knights, so they are ready to cross the drawbridge at the second from the top level. A drawbridge at the top is lowered when the tower is in place so the knights inside can storm across onto the opposition’s wall. Archers on the platform at the top would provide cover for the attacking knights.
