Assuming you mean the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, during the early middle ages it was an Anglo saxon village, eventually taken over by Vikings. After the Norman Invasion, it was pretty much destroyed, and a new castle was built there by Robert Curthose, a son of William the Conqueror. For a while, it was a village around a motte and bailey castle. Then a 25 foot high wall was built around it, so in the end it was a walled village with buildings of the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages.
