Best Answer

Royal families, i.e. princes and kings and queens and princes

When they were originally built they were a center of military and economic activity with fortifications that were able to withstand siege from aggressors. they gave the local farmers and business people that were part of the economic fabric of the area a place to go when military aggressors were in their area. They also served as a deterrent against such aggression taking place in the first place. Today they are largely used for museums and displayed as relics of the past. some are stil being used as residences by people that have wealth or ties to these bygone days.
