In 1066, the best castle was likely the Tower of London, which was established shortly after the Norman Conquest. William the Conqueror built it to demonstrate power and control over England, serving both as a royal residence and a fortress. Its strategic location on the River Thames allowed for effective defense and administration, making it a symbol of Norman authority. Although it was not completed until later, its design and purpose set the standard for castles in medieval England.
