Much of the most beautiful stained glass work that has ever been done was done for the windows of European cathedrals between 1100-1600 AD.
A person working in glass in the middle ages was called a glazier. They didn't "paint" stain glass. Stain glass is a colored glass that is cut to fit a pattern.
People couldn’t read so the Catholic Church put the stories and people in the art. The stain glass windows tell Bible stories along with paintings done in the churches and cathedrals.
Castles didn't have stain glass windows ( some do today because they have been added) because they were built for protection and defense.
It was used more as a teaching tool than propaganda. People couldn't read so the Catholic church ( the only church that there was) would teach the bible through plays. These plays are often called "Passion Plays". Stain glass windows in churches were also used as a teaching tool.

Stained glass windows are used to depict images, usually thematic. e.g. In a church, there would be stained glass windows depicting stories from The Bible, in a college lecture hall, there could be stained glass windows depicting flora and fauna.
Because back in the days not many people could read, they invented a story in Stain Glass Windows to show what really happened.
They portray events that have happened in the past. Just like a painting does of Christ giving a sermon to his disciples.
Some do, some do not. It is usually a matter of whether or not that particular parish or area can afford them when the church is built.
