Exactly one of these statements about castles at the end of the Middle Ages is false. Which statement is it?
Gunpowder artillery made tall stone walls much less effective
Castles gradually lost their importance in warfare over the later medieval period
By the end of the fifteenth century high stone walls had regained their advantage over artillery✓Ճիշտ պատասխան
Castle walls faced no gunpowder cannon during the earlier centuries of the period
Բացատրություն
Guns able to batter masonry belong to the last stretch of the medieval period, so walls built high against stone-throwing engines suddenly faced a weapon they had not been designed to resist. The false statement reverses what actually followed, because tall thin curtains never recovered the upper hand: defence answered artillery with low, thick, earth-backed works rather than by building higher.
