Who would be in charge of the castle if not the King or Queen in medieval times?

The military commander of a castle was called a castellan. The castellan might also be the majordomo, running the civilian staff as well. In French the same position was called a Chatelain. In German the same position was called a Burgmann.
If the question is who might otherwise posses a castle rather than a king or queen, then there would have been middle rank nobles who had a castle of some sort. While we tend to think of castles as elaborate stone structures, many were simpler. A more basic castle might be a simple stone keep with a surrounding wall, either of stone or or wood. Another basic castle style was the shell keep, which is a round stone wall, with wooden or stone structures built backing to the exterior wall, and with an open central courtyard.
