Best Answer

Kings in the middle ages tended to move around a lot, so they did not live in a particular place for a long time.

They would move from castle to castle as they traveled around on expeditions and gained support for warfare. This movement from castle to castle also allowed Kings to supervise developments and government in dioceses which were otherwise ruled by Bishops.

Castles were usually uncomfortable to live in. Unless there was a problem, such as a war or unrest, kings and queens usually lived in palaces. The difference is that a palace is built to be a fine residence, and a castle is built to be a fort.

A queen usually lived with a king, and their home was usually a palace, or, in times of unrest, a castle. Sometimes a dowager queen lived in a nice manor house. Queens who got themselves into trouble sometimes were imprisoned in a castle, Eleanor of Aquitaine being an example. Queens sometimes retired to convents.

Was there EVER a Queen Victoria in the Middle Ages?

There may have been a Queen Victoria in the Middle Ages, but I cannot find any reference to her. There was a Victoria who was the mother of Victorinus, a man who claimed to be the Roman Emperor in the 3rd century, but she was not a queen and did not live in the Middle Ages. I searched online and in a hard copy of the the Webster's Biographical Dictionary dating from 1948.
