Fortifications were besieged by professional armies and often had the upper hand. With the nobles protected by their walls, and the peasants having zero siege weapons, their storage of food supplemented by a possible steady supply of goodberries, and the court wizard doing early morning sorties to send a fireball hello for his five minutes adventuring day, I don't bet on the peasants successfully conducing the siege. Especially if the food reserve of the whole willage is safely kept inside the castle. Famine decimated besiegers as well. My money is on the rightful and legitimate lord of land, barring the intervention of CE adventurers.</blockquote>
