Where does name castle come from?
The name Castle means "the man who lives in the castle".The word castle comes from the Latin castellum. This referred to a small fort used as a watchtower or signal station.
Why were people hung in the Medieval Times?
The modern concept of dungeons is incorrect and much influenced by fictional books and films.The Anglo-Norman word donjon refers to a castle keep, the central strong tower of a Norman castle. It comes from Latin dominium, meaning "a place of lordship or authority", since the main purpose was to dominate the surrounding area and establish a strong hold over the local population. Its purpose was to strike fear in the hearts of the peasants, who would be terrified of "being sent to the donjon" - meaning being asked to report to the nobleman in his great tower. It would indicate that the peasant was in trouble, or owed money, or was to be fined for some failure in his duties.People were sometimes confined to a donjon, meaning that they were imprisoned within the castle tower but could move about freely between the rooms. This often happened at Dover Castle, which had absolutely no prison cells but many people were confined to the donjon. Some even had the freedom to walk about in the castle grounds but were not permitted to go out of the gates.Imprisonment was a very rare punishment in the medieval period; at first many penalties involved losing eyes, hands or other body parts, but by the late 12th century monetary fines were much more commonly used. The word fine comes from the Latin for "an end" - paying a fine put an end to the legal matter. Imprisonment was often a temporary measure while matters were being investigated - the first friars to arrive in England (in the early 13th century) were confined at Dover Castle (not in cells but within the entire castle) until they could be questioned about their beliefs. As soon as it was found that they were not heretical they were released.

What is the purpose of keep in middle ages?
They were not called "keeps" until after the medieval period had ended (and castles were no longer being built). The word used at the time was donjon.The word donjon gives a clue as to the main function of the building - it comes from Latin dominium, a place of lordship. The main purpose was to establish authority and domination over an area with a huge, strong tower which could be plainly seen for miles. It also served as a centre of administration for records, for collecting taxes, for judicial trials and for granting legal permissions.In the very rare times of war the donjon served as a final refuge for the castle garrison - but it also became a prison for them since there would be no way out and they could eventually starve. Donjons looked impressive, but as defensive structures they had limited value - the garrison could only defend from the roof or from arrow slits at certain points, but there were always blind spots they could not cover.
