What is the history of windsor castle?
Windsor Castle was built by anglo-saxon slaves. William the Conqueror was their new King, he didn't even speak English! Anglo Saxons were not happy, so William I needed to build castles very quickly, so he built them out of wood, this was dangerous because wood sets on fire easily so he had the keeps (the safest part of the castle) on a motte Windsor Castle has a natural chalk motte. Windsor Castle was besieged twice so, Henry II and Henry III built concentric stone castles with walls that were 4 metres thick, he built concentric keeps so it would be easier to spot attackers from afar. Later on Windsor C. became the centre of government and during the Civil War it regained it's military glory. After England became less violent, Monarchs wanted more comfort rather than practicality.This is a quick summary, otherwise i would have written an essay.
