When he was in England, William the Conqueror lived in castles. King Edward II was born in Carnarvon Castle; his mother was living in temporary residence there while the castle was being built. King Henry V was born in Monmouth Castle. Anne of Cleves lived in a Hever Castle, which had also been the home of Anne Boleyn. There were a number of others, but most powerful medieval people did not normally live in castles.
Most castles were not designed to be homes, but rather forts. A few manor houses were fortified and called castles, later in the Middle Ages, and a few were very large, to the point that a comfortable residence could fit inside. These few were really the only ones people might like to live in.
