What colour do you think medieval knights would have worn?
Bishons,

The key to good MOC building is a large brain and a kinda big wallet

Do you think that castle had motes around them or was it more common to place the castle in the middle of a river.

Not all castles/forts has moats around them many were but on top of hills or on top of mountains, sometimes moats mess up the foundations under the wall, the high ground gives the defender an advantage because projectiles can shoot further some times a Cliff can make half of the castle impassible like Edinburgh castle. forcing the attacker to attack from one side!
