    The most important form of military technology during the Middles Ages were _____________________. Only kings, queens, and high-ranking nobles lived there.

    Explanation
    During the Middle Ages, castles were the most crucial form of military technology. These fortified structures provided protection and served as a stronghold for kings, queens, and high-ranking nobles. Castles were strategically built in strategic locations, allowing those in power to control and defend their territories. The strong defensive features of castles, such as thick walls, moats, and towers, made them difficult to breach, giving the ruling elite a significant advantage in warfare. The presence of castles symbolized power and authority, as only the wealthiest and most influential individuals could afford to build and maintain these structures.

They also acted as judges when there were disputes, using their authority to settle legal matters within their territory. Additionally, lords were involved in fighting for higher ranking lords or supplying them with fighters, as feudalism required military service from vassals to their lords. However, there is no evidence or historical context to suggest that lords were responsible for growing Christmas trees for the king.
