What are the advantages and disadvantages of living near a castle?

Disadvantages include being on the spot when invaders attack the castle, and being subject without choice to laws and administration involving the castle, as well as being subject to sudden changes in your community and domestic situation in times of unrest. When the castle is under attack, the first priority is to protect those in the castle. Nearby residents are low on the list when it comes to protection, and easy targets for invaders. With the castle otherwise engaged or even out of action, even if your life goes on your livelihood will be severely compromised. The inhabitants of populated areas near castles generally had their own ways of protecting themselves, good escape routes being a priority, but it was still highly risky business.
