Glass production has been around for 3000 years but they were not incorporated into early castles for one obvious reason. They offer no military defense and castles were military installations. So its unlikely that windows were added till after the period that castles were strategically important. THis would have probably been during the Elizabethan/Tudor period when castles became more like stately homes than defensible miltary installations.
Probably the only place you would have found glasing in a medieval Castle would have been the chapel which may have had a stained glass window in it.
