Some ladies, even queens, lived in castles, though I doubt many liked it. Castles were forts, for the most part, and they were usually not nice places to live.

After William the Conqueror took England, there was a period of unrest that lasted for quite a few years. Members of the nobility often lived in castles during this period for their own protection. Later, as things settled down, many moved to manor houses, which were more comfortable.

King Edward II was born in a castle that was under construction in Wales. His father had taken Wales, and was building a series of great castles to protect his interests from rebellion. The fact that Queen Eleanor was living there was entirely due to these efforts.

Some castles had fairly comfortable apartments in them for their lords, and some noble families continued to live in castles. Apart from the inconvenience, however, castles were also very expensive to maintain. Also, some castles were really just fortified manor houses, and these were easier to deal with.
