They were helpful when it came to protection. most castles had moats which made it hard to get to the castle. The moats were to deep to walk through, and to wide to swim, there was a draw bridge so that people could get in and out of the castle and across the moat. Most castles were made of a smooth stone. this meant that it could not be scaled or burned. castles were typically well stocked in food and drink so that the people of that country of town would have enough food during an attack.
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. Of course castles could have been retrofitted with glass but few were built with it as part of the original design.
